TUBA - 4

I began adding the notes.

I used acrylic ink in the shadow area so that if I needed more color there, the notes would not run.

All of the lines are also acrylic ink, but the notes and words in rest of the painting are watercolor.

I can see this becoming a series. Beautiful work on the shiny surface and great design elements in this one.
