More spontaneous smears, from adding a layer of transparent watercolor ground. I want to try this style with slightly less waterproof ink, to get MORE smearing!

A layer of transparent Daniel Smith Watercolor Ground added some wonderful smearing, that I really like!
This is what I call “dancing with chaos,” and what I love about working improvisationally.

Added a layer of diluted gesso, and “etched” in with Derwent Sketching Pencil.

Starting four new 6×6 canvas boards in my minimalist series (for which I’d like a better name–any suggestions?)
Gesso applied with a cheap wall painter’s brush, plus glossy black Ziller ink applied with the handle end of a cheap brush.

Crackle paste chips removed (THE most satisfying part of the process 🙂 ). I love the tendril of graphite *just* peeking through.

Crackle paste is dry! Look at those big chips, just waiting to be peeled off!
