Painting- Watercolors with Crosshatching- Hot Air Balloon/Girl With Light Bulb

Now that we have learned a bit about crosshatching (see previous posts) let's take it to the next level, color. For this painting, I first did a sketch with pencil and in a thin Sharpie, then colored it lightly in with colored watercolor pencils. A few splashes of regular watercolors with a bit of mixing is all you need. Here below is another example, what your subject can be is nearly limitless, so use your imagination.
