The "brick irises" are done.....

It feels so nice to get another painting done. I had a lot of fun with this one.
The last bit of work I had to do was to give the bricks some depth by putting some subtle shading underneath each individual brick. After that was done, I just had to put in some finishing touches; deeping some values and putting some textural elements onto the leaves, stems, and bricks.
I noticed that once it was finally done, that it really doesn't look like a watercolor! I'm pretty sure that some will assume it is a colored pencil, or possibly even a pastel or acrylic. At this point, I cannot imagine the learning curve involved in utilizing another medium!
I think I have my hands full with watercolor!!
