Cerise Rose

This was actually a practise sketch trying to find my style. I was about to toss it in the bin then thought I would try and get rid of all the blotchy marks and see if I could save it to use later.
I found it quite difficult not to smudge the texture of the cold press watercolour paper underneath as I was using the clone tool, it took me 3 attempts at this before I submitted this one.
I just got rid of the paint splatters and blotches only...there were loads I'm really messy, and decided to leave the loose strokes. This is really the first time I have used the Levels and found it hugely helpful. Thank you Samantha.
