Watercolor St. Lucia Step 1 (3)

Close-up of a hand painting a warm golden-peach wash across the face of a black-line Saint Lucia drawing. The figure’s seven-candle wreath, hair, clothing, neck ribbon, and serving tray remain unpainted outlines, while “Bringer of Light” is handwritten in cursive above. A watercolor palette is visible at the top of the white work surface.

Watercolor process photograph showing a brush laying a warm yellow-peach skin-tone wash over the face of a hand-drawn Saint Lucia figure. The pigment is concentrated across the forehead, nose, and cheek area while the eyes, mouth, and facial outline remain visible beneath the translucent watercolor. Her shoulder-length hair, leafy wreath, seven candle shapes with flames, collared garment, tied ribbon, hands, and serving tray are still mostly uncolored black linework. “Bringer of Light” appears in loose cursive lettering above the illustration. A used watercolor palette with bright yellow, orange, red, green, brown, and dark pans is positioned across the top.
