After painting the watercolor background, I used a gold watercolor paint that I made with a Jacquard gold powder and some gum arabic that I bought for use with watercolor. Gum Arabic is the "glue" that holds watercolor pigment on the page. However, my flowers are boring and dull even in gold.
Here is a great tip. When you have made a complete mess, it is the perfect time to experiment. Having watched videos where the artist doodles all over her watercolors, I thought "why not? I can't hurt this one." I thought that at worst, it is a piece of paper that can go in the trash can.
So I doodled.
It isn't great art, but it is a lot more fun now. And it is no longer destined for the trash can. I can use it as the front of a card when an appropriate birthday rolls around
