I have already written about the ROSA Gallery color palette in ROSA Gallery – watercolors from Ukraine . But for the record, I'm going to throw in the picture again.

Below is my picture painted with ROSA Gallery paints. I submitted this image for the Watercolor Festival Fabriano in Aquarello . This festival is like the watercolor world championship – at least I treat it like that.
