Art & Ale, Mixed Media, March, 2020

First I transferred the grape drawing.  Then I wet the paper and dropped in some color.  Then I used a small strainer (sandpaper works too) to grate watercolor pencil onto the paper to create the texture.  I may add another layer to darken the piece a bit before class.

First I transferred the owl drawing.  Then I dampened the paper and dropped in/painted the local color paying attention to the owl colors somewhat.  I wanted the paint to move and blend together some.  When the paper was still wet, but not puddled, I dropped in salt (I used larger coarse salt).  After this dried I started drawing the darks with my black ink pen and lights with my white gel pen.  I hope to get more done before class.
