9x6 watercolor, Brusho and black India ink on Canson 140 lb cold press paper done today. Yesterday I started the underpainting background that was thalo blue brushed onto semi-wet paper. After that dried, quinacridone violet was scattered about, then a stencil used with transparent pyrrol orange/Peachy Keen mix; the orange Brusho crystals were next sprinkled on top. Today I used black ink to do only the darkest darks from an old movie star photo of Garbo. It's for the August challenge on WetCanvas' abstracts and contemporary forum where I asked participants to make an abstract background then use line to add parts of a face, etc.
