Hand Painted Zine, Part 14
Last month I didn't get to finish a watercolor page because I got distracted by the warm-up pencil drawings. But this time I took one of those and with a few modifications I turned into a proper watercolor painting.

Things were already vectors at this point to I transferred them to watercolor paper with the trusty Axidraw pen plotter and proceeded to apply layers of paint in 10 minute increments.

And thank you for all the support!
Federico.
