Ink Drop Cafe Promotional Watercolor

Paints used: Winsor and Newton, Daniel Smith, SoHo, and Holbein
You guys might recognize the process shown here from the Easy Blends and Fades tutorial in my Watercolor Basics series. Rather than go in depth here, I encourage you guys to read that post if you're interested in blending and fading.
This piece was painted to celebrate the launch of Ink Drop Cafe, and my webcomic, 7" Kara, membership status. Ink Drop Cafe is more than just a comic collective, we have a growing list of fantastic affiliates that provide resources and services for artists and comic creators.
