I had some blank business cards to use for the project. Not the best as far as watercolor paper, but I punched a hole in the cards and now I can use them for gift tags. Simplifying a scene is one of toughest things for me. I was glad to see another tutorial from you as your line drawing instructions are great.  Below are some of my practice attempts. Getting wonky is fun! If you see something that helps me "do better" I'd be glad to hear it. Cheers! Thanks to this teacher, I try to start every day with a doodle in my sketch book. "Welcome March" is one.
