Looking at and comparing watercolour and gouache paint. I may use them together in the final piece as I like how they look together. Also identifying the colour scheme that I should use for my final work. Conclusion: browns and subtle blacks will be used to create the floral elements in the work.

Playing around with composition. Questioning whether the cutouts should remain together on a single page or distributed so that they each have their own page?
