I think your subject matter is perfect for this technique.

Thanks for all of your opinions. The forums are great especially when you get step by step instructions on how to do any technique from someone who knows what they are doing. It is even better when you try out the technique and it comes out like it is suppose to. When I tried the sunflower picture (see attached) as watercolor for the 1st time, I liked the way it came out but it didn't look like really a watercolor but more of a painting & then I did the outdoor scene it looked more like a watercolor effect. Some pictures might not work as well with this technique. I know I will do more watercolors; they look like an artist hand painted them.
Thanks everyone, Christell
