'Greenish' watercolor paintings

Abstract nature paintings, with reverse stenciling.

(Reverse stenciling inspired by Krista Robertson on YouTube.)

Reverse stenciling: take a thin plastic stencil and place it on your dry watercolor painting. With a toothbrush (or a small sponge) with clean water rub away the paint through (part of) the stencil, then dab with a dry cloth to remove the watery paint. Repeat.
Use a toothbrush on quality cotton paper, or a sponge on more delicate paper.

The first one has a piece in the middle that didn’t go well, but I wanted to show it anyway.

I hope you like them.
