| This is a colored pencil background on hot press watercolor paper with a solvent used to melt and spread the colored pencil. I used the side of the pencil and added yellow with blue on top. I shaded horizontally because it's water. I then used Goo Gone Gel as my solvent. I applied it with a brush over the colored pencil to melt the wax and to spread the color. |

| This is the acrylic painting split into 5 sections so I could paint the 5 grounds/gesso . From left to right - Winsor & Newton Clear Gesso, Liquitex Clear Gesso , Colourfix Clear, Golden's Acrylic Ground for Pastel, Daniel Smith Transparent Watercolor Ground. I have added a little pencil in a few arwas (blue and yellow) as well as some blue and red watercolor over acrylic on the right in the watercolor ground section. |
