Dot had her clever little book open on the table, the pages pressed flat with one of her textbooks so she didn't have to constantly keep pressing down the pages while she worked. If only Maddie was here, Dot would rely on her bestest of best friends to help her transfer the illuminated text picture in her head onto the paper. Unfortunately, she was on her own, and it was a pretty sure thing that this wouldn't end to her satisfaction.

Maybe it could be like drawing the clean lines of a dress as she pictured it in her head and make it appear on the page. Broad shapes first, the whole, and then the details filling in the rest. And then color last. She sectioned off the top of her page and sketched out an elaborate W. Sun rays and a curling garland of morning glories created a border around the letter, to symbolize her start of life and new beginnings and the fact that Kyroh said she was like sunshine.

That didn't look so bad at all, actually, and Dot was willing to go over the pencil lines with a quill and ink. Dark, sure strokes to create boundaries for the paint and details on the flowers. She had to let the ink dry fully before using her watercolors to carefully dip color into the flower petals and sun rays. The coloring suited the delicate morning glories, although she wished her sun was bright and vibrant and happy. Maybe she could put on another layer next time, when it was all dry.
