I have renamed what was the pink wash layer, just wash, because that is the layer, just you can see that one without the others. Where we are putting down the basic local color the tonality. Some I'm going to work on that layer again, but I have the other ones visible and we can see in the original, that area is kind of yellow-green. So I will choose that color from my color set. And use the diffuse camel perhaps; let's see how that looks. It's looking pretty good, might want to back to my pinks as well again referring to the source image. A little bit of pink over here wouldn't be amiss, and I think I am also going to retouch the original canv layer - that's the dry layer. That looks awful without the sketch, partly because you see the checkerboard through the transparency. So in the canvas layer I would use the non-water color tools. So I am get the eraser and just take away a little bit of that - sort of was bothering me this whole time. Let's see if there is other lines I can afford to lose, think I want the lines to be that definite in this area. Or over here, or over here; it's wonderful to be able to touch up a dry layer and not worry about affecting any other water color layer. Now the original collection of watercolor brushes from that default because I failed to include which kind of eraser that I am going to need at this point. So we will go back to painter brushes, load them up, now I will be able to have that full complement of watercolor variants, which for most of this project would've just gotten in my way. So let's try eraser wet, and what I want to do - I think it needs to be a bit smaller. I want to get some nice crisp edges there. I better be on the right layer here, I'd better be on the wash layer. That's actually kind of interesting but I wasn't controlling it enough. Let's make it a little bit smaller and then will just do a little something like that, that's kind of interesting. let's get in here and take away the green from that edge. I do kind of like that, but I think I also need to touch up some of the interior of the petals with pink. So I'll go back to my pink and this time I should be able to just use the eye-dropper on that wash layer; and I will go back to the diffuse camel and see what happens when I just put in a little more color there, little more color over here and yet I still have some pretty good edges, I think I also need to create an edge right there. This time we will stick with that wet eraser, I do kind of like it. And that is looking pretty good.
