Tattoo rose

This morning I got out the water colour paints that had been laying in my draw unused and gave them a try out. I thought I'd tie it in with a request for a rose and dagger tattoo.

Here's the original scamp on a4 (love the blue leads).

A little tracing paper action and a ruler to tidy it up and I was ready for my maiden voyage in to water colour.

Painted the a few layers of colours and finished off with my trusty tech pens.

I have to admit using the water colours was fun, I will be doing more painting with them in the future and hopefully get some skills along the way.
