The page from my messy desk…

Remember this page? It was one of my "in progress" pages from my desk shot a couple of weeks ago. I finally finished it by adding green to the circles. That's all it needed, I thought. The colors on this page are amazing. I did the background with Fig Magenta Maya Mist and Lemon Metallic Maya Mist. I tell you, I love those two colors. Love. Love. Love. And when they mix, they turn a beautiful orange. I also used Purple Twilight Colorwash by Ranger to spray over the figure.

A few notes about this page:

• This is in my huge watercolor journal. The paper is extremely porous, so I did coat it with gesso.
• I sprayed the inks and then moved them around with a very watery paintbrush.
• I did the white text with a white Stabilo Marks All Pencil.
• I cut the silhouette from a magazine.
