A painting to practice pushing a more watercolor look in digital and trying for more stylized but informed shapes!

Flat Filling Color- for a watercolor look, I find it helps to mask a section, fill with white, and then paint in a wash.

Retaining some of that initial white seems to really help with a digital watercolor look.
