Poinsettia in Watercolor

A 15 minute time lapse video of a watercolor demonstration by Doris Ettlinger of a pink and a red poinsettia.

Arches 140 lb CP.
Brushes: Escoda Aquario #10, and various size Silver Black Velvet brushes.

Are these all Windsor and newton watercolor?

[@DorisEttlingerStudio]

The Ultramarine is Holbein. The Quinacridone Rose is Daniel Smith. The rest are Winsor & Newton.
