Christmas Cactus Pencil on dry watercolour

Pencil on top of the watercolour gives a really finished appearance, in particular I found it useful for highlighting the shape of the cup and saucer, and the giving definition to the leaves of the cactus. It also enabled me to pick out the wood grain of the table top, something I had been finding difficult with the watercolour alone.
