I continued adding colors to the different areas of the composition one layer at a time, As I change one element, another would strike me as needing refinement. This became a continual process as I matched up the watercolor painting to my minds eye. This was how I could make the painting more detailed, interesting, and achieve a certain perfection.

This painting was completed in about one and a half hours.
