it was just laying around not being used

more paper play
Unryu paper with fibers colored with WN watercolors and some iridescent watercolors added for lights.
Attached to masa paper to give it some stability.
Cut to make an ACEO "blank"
Chinese brush with hand ground ink for the orchid.

cut and paste?
a new shredder option?
maybe this will be a good background for something else...
stuck to a solid piece of paper for a little added strength
Right now this piece is under a stack of books to help it settle down.
Will trim and try a little drawing on top.
How to take a piece that I'm unhappy with and turn it into something else...
woven with a little Zen
Not the best strata for a pen drawing - the paper kept snagging the pen at the weave joints. I added some iridescent watercolor to pop up the design. I prefer the look of the woven paper left alone - where the effects of the watercolor on paper show.

Creamy paper...
Greys
So, I got this new watercolor paper and it isn't my usual bright white or even natural white. It's a lovely creamy white, toward the warm side. Change in paper and an effort to try something new. Looking to do a bit more high key or subtle work and a lot less definition.
Sepia
The paper does look white...but softer than the familiar ultra white.

Start Over?
River Sunrise
A lack of sleep isn't always a bad thing.
I've been able to see a few glorious sunrises
and get several photos for reference.
Discovered my new paper
is lousy for landscapes.
I painted so many versions of this subject just to be sure.
Sunrise
full of hope
a refreshing
glorious start
