Original artwork description:

Lithe and lovely. The model laid along the bench. The colours flow as she melts into the pose.

I spent more time looking at the model than the paper, otherwise the temptation would be to play with the drips. Choosing where to load the brush with more water seemed to come from an unknown hand.

As the drips from the image go to the edge of the paper you may wish to put it in a float frame (which sandwiches the painting between two pieces of glass). Alternatively you could use a box frame and foam pads (like those used in decoupage) to hold the painting away from the back board. NB only use foam pads at the edges as they are a permanent attachment to the back of the work.

Mounting/Mat Suggestion: An image is included of how the piece could look if float-mounted or put behind mountboard(s) [in the US known as mats] before framing.

NB the colour of the picture may be slightly different on your monitor/phone depending on settings.
