Requesting comments

Hello everyone,

I'm getting back into traditional art mediums and I need some help. I have never really had a lot of experience painting or using watercolor, but I am seeking help from anyone that has experience with painting and watercolor to give me some pointers.

I recently did the piece "Fairy's in the pool" and I have mixed feelings over how it came out. Here's how I painted it:

1. Sketched out on watercolor paper.
2. Colored the fairy figure with watercolor pencils and then went over her with water and a paint brush. I continues over her with darker colors and repeated the process.
3. Repeat the process with the wings and water.

If there is a better way to do this, I would love to know. Thanks to all that respond.
