drawing on painted backgrounds


I love to make the colorful backgrounds, then wait to turn them into something more finished with a drawing on top. Often I *don't* improve the piece.

In this case, with a clingwrap-wrapped finger I streaked on ink from the Pentel brush pens (no absorption and better streaking than using a sponge or papertowel).

Days later, I drew my childhood teddy bear on the page. He may be my new convenient, stays-still, life model.

I didn't scan across the binding, so he's missing a paw. Ink brush pen in the journal.
