The Soup of Forgetfulness- concept art

This is just an concept art.
I wanted to get a feel of watercolour painting before I do the digital version. 
It is based on the traditional Chinese culture of the afterlife.
_________________________________________________________________
 
Meng Po (Chinese: 孟婆; pinyin: Mèng Pó; literally: "Old Lady Meng") is the Lady of Forgetfulness in Chinese mythology.
Meng Po serves in Diyu, the Chinese realm of the dead, in the 10th court.
It is her task to ensure that souls who are ready to be reincarnated do not remember their previous life or their time in hell.
To this end she collects herbs from various earthly ponds and streams to make her Five Flavored Tea of Forgetfulness (simplified Chinese: 迷魂汤; traditional Chinese: 迷魂湯; Wade–Giles: Mi-hun-t'ang; literally: "waters of oblivion").
This is given to each soul to drink before they leave Diyu. The brew induces instant and permanent amnesia, and all memory of other lives is lost.
Having been purged of all previous sins and knowledge, the dead spirit is sent to be reborn in a new earthly incarnation, and the cycle begins again.
Occasionally people are able to avoid drinking the brew, resulting in past life memories surfacing in children.
