Colour pencil and watercolour in a sketchbook.
Crazy sketchbook experiment in mixed media while waiting for the offspring attending a music lesson. (That’s something they don’t mention in the parenting classes: you will spend a large portion of your life waiting…)
First go with watercolour in a Stillman & Birn Alpha – which is rated for light washes. I guess this counts as a light wash – the paper soaked up the wash making it patchy. Hence, the colour pencil additions. If I put more water on to get a smooth wash is it still a light wash? Or does the paper cockle and spoil the paint on the next page too?
