Monday - brown paper sketches

we shall grow wings together


we shall grow wings together

(mosaic monday is on holiday)

this week I thought I would share here a new series of gouache drawings/sketches on brown paper. I'm working on many to see what may be seen.... (And a new postcard print set may be in the works.)

I love the warmth of brown paper and the way gouache paint works on this surface. Yes the paper buckles slightly, but I like the overall feel and use brown paper a lot for sketching ideas and improvising. I haven't given up on my '100 brown paper portraits' and am adding these new ones to the collection.

have a good Monday
