Christmas Cactus 6 Pencil & Watercolour Careful

This was my first painting in the Pencil and Watercolour Exercise. I think for this one I used the wrong size brush! I think the pencil sketch gives structure to the image, but I felt my painting was less spontaneous as I was carefully colouring in the drawn images. I think the pencil remaining visible is an interesting effect, one which i would either cover completely with more layers of paint, or one which I could use as a feature of my overall image.
