This is a fun exercise to practice with a new watercolor pallette. I am using the Complexion set from Prima Marketing (Confections). It is not the best pallete for color variation, but I can get some nice testured.  I used a broad Uniball Signo in Bronze for the metallic accents.

Since I am new to watercolor, I am looking forward to improving and trying out pallettes brighter colors and more variation.

Some nets from my 6"x6" sketchbook . . . 

I prefer these to pieces with embellishments.

For extra fun, combine this class with Tamas Benko's  "Let's Draw Expressive Stick Figures - Learn to Simplify"
