Wonderful! Love seeing step by step work , and you've got a killer control of watercolor! :) (only critique: and this is nitpicky, so just chalk it up to opinion... the upper portion of the work could go a BIT darker in value, to pull the eye to the center of interest... but, as I said, really just nitpicking!_
I absolutely agree with you for the darker value, but at some point when you add too much layers of color with watercolors, you just remove the previous color and you can't go darker (it depends on the paper you use). So I had to stop at this point this time ! ^^
