Finally to a run at trying one of these. Actually did 2, right is on 100% cotton. 2nd I did a bit more loose sketch. But water load and mixes were the same as I painted back and forth at same time. Goes to show how paper can transform the look. Both have their own character.

This was definitely the first watercolor exercise I could do with some confidence, really feel like the process is starting to click or maybe not

Here’s my attempt. I had trouble with the background. Maybe I should have use wet on wet to have better transitions between colors instead of those blobs!

First attempt at these boxes. I think I don’t have good water control and that is making my washes uneven
