Softly Does It

I've been trying to practice DI water-colouring in an attempt to get the shading a bit softer rather than bold.  I find it really hard to do, because each time I sit back and look at my work, I think it needs a bit more shadow adding, and it slowly ends up dark like all my other attempts.

This time I think I've definitely filled the brief on the soft colouring, but now I'm not sure whether it looks a bit washed out and faded.

I chose Wild Rose Studio papers in shades to match the image, and they're quite softly shaded too, so it all gels together.
