this little drawing was a watercolor. well, i mean it started out as a 5 x 5" watercolor and i was not entirely happy with it so i oomphed up the background a bit with pitt pens. i like the way some of the colors are still a little transparent. they go on pretty evently, though not as evenly i think as prismacolor makers. they are quite a bit less expensive, though, and come in all my favorite autumny colors. i actually discovered doing this project that for backgrounds i like the way they look over watercolor better than the way they look alone. and they do go on more evenly on a really thick watercolor paper that absorbs the ink well.
the cold of the week has loosened its talons a bit. i am taking next week off and am sort of not-quite-frantically trying to tie up any loose ends today. i'll only be gone a week - what could go wrong? i've had 15 years to get things the way i like them so i can walk away and hopefully no one will notice i am gone. well, they could notice a tiny bit and maybe miss me a little.
