Is it cheating or not?

Today I decided to make a new picture. Just something that I could hang on the wall in our bathroom or kitchen. I love daises so I decided to go with that. I didn't want to draw it in pencil. That just wasn't what I had in mind. I didn't want to paint because I just wasn't in the mood to making a big mess. I remembered that I had watercolor pencils. This was perfect. Just what I had in mind. I drew the outline and then started coloring it with the pencils. I tried to explain it to my husband that it will change when I add water to it. He just didn't get it. I took a wet brush and went over the color that I had already applied. Of course it started to look like I was painting with watercolors. The first thing he said was "that's cheating!" Yes, it is easier, but I still had to draw the picture and decide what color to use and where to put it. I don't know, what is your opinion. Is it cheating? I get that it is easier, that is why I did it, but is it cheating? I don't think so, I think it is just another form of art. In the end, when I was done, it looked good just not quite there yet. So I did add a little of real watercolor to it. I like it. Simple but good enough to hang. What is your opinion?
