Where is the snowflake?

Just now I am challenging myself with using snowflake line drawings and transforming them in such a way that you have difficulties recognizing the snowflake shapes. My palette here is quite limited - in fact I am using up the paints left on my palette from the last painting. 

I find that kind of painting very relaxing and zen-like. After having thought about the hues to use I am slowly colouring in, trying to stay inside the lines and to work as precise as possible. I know that other people do a proper colour chart planning before they begin to paint - I do not do that (yet).

Purple snowflake

This painting was my first kind of commission. I'd already done that snowflake, but with a completely different background design and a complete different colour palette. I'd made a card out of it and showed the card to a nice person in the restaurant which I use to frequent quite often. Sie bought it and said that she would like another one but with other colours.

Well, I actually did another one. This one is done with a range of media: watercolour brush pens, liquid watercolours and some alcoholbased markers, and of course, a white gel pen in the very end of the creative process. Today I went to the drugstore and had two cards printed out with this design.
