I have really been enjoying alternating between watercolor and pastel!  Although actually, it is the contrast between detail and looseness that I like.  

Also, if you are on Instagram, I would love it if you stopped by my page and said hi!  You can find me at @rebeccaprough.  I hope to see you there!
