Unfortunately, I made a mistake before I put the very first brushstroke of paint to paper. I forgot to erase the vertical and horizontal pencil lines that I used to position the circle. I ordinarily do not erase pencil lines because I think they add to the story of the creation of the piece. But these particular straight lines are just a distraction.
There's faint, but they're still there, and I wish they weren't.
Anyway, I darkened the sky, painted the oak leaves and branches as well as the bare branches the owl is sitting on, and added the details to the owl, bird, and rabbits.
I'm getting closer to liking watercolor!
It's very close to what I had originally envisioned, and I'm happy with it. Now to "assemble" the final images for the cards by placing the portraits in the center.
