Cattleya Orchids Sketch

I used several of my photos taken at the Walmart garden department and sketched on tracing paper before transferring the drawing to my full sheet (22x30") 300# Saunders Waterford Rough watercolor paper. I would normally use cold press which is smoother but I got the rough type by mistake.  It is actually smoother than the Arches cold press and paint flows well. I plan to use masking fluid around the frilly edges to preserve the white areas.
