Warm Orchid

ACEO (3.5 by 2.5 inches), water colours (and black and white ink)

Drawn from life (from one of my miniature orchids). The background gave me some trouble - first I used orange, which overpowered the yellow blossoms, then I added an Ochre wash, which was better, but still too similar, so then I added a very light wash of umber.
