Colors of Spring

Thought I would do something a little off the wall by using color for my white dogwood sketch.  If nothing else, it makes for a bright colorful page in my journal book.

I have not done any serious watercolor painting in some time and found myself struggling with this.  Add my using paper I'm not accustomed to and I truly feel like I've stepped back in time as a beginner.  Think I need to dedicate some time with the brush and paint.  Maybe do some exercises to help get me back on track.
