One of My Favorite Plants in Watercolor

Another watercolor entry in my Zeta book..........a Prayer Plant.

I love the markings on these plants and love how they fold up at night.

Although on the page indicates several greens, the primary green I used was Cascade Green.  The others were used as a glaze or for the darks.  Cascade Green is a unique green and I wasn't real impressed with it mixed with other colors except Fr Ultra for a green blue.  It also changes color as it dries........or seemed to.

I used pen and ink to emphasize some edges for suggesting wood grain.
