Roz Stendahl, Minnesota artist, has beautiful sketch journals in which she pre-paints pages throughout a volume. Then when she gets to that page, she has to make it work with the drawing she's doing.
Challenging and fun. I have always pre-painted, but put too much on the page so that it becomes a full painted background.
This time I restrained myself to 3 strokes of orange. Then, yesterday, I happened to be waiting in the car, and drew this tree in the parking lot. Green added later.
Fountain pen with Noodler's ink, in the (new volume, unlined) journal.
