Drawing from the fridge

Persevering with the journal challenge. When in doubt I look in the fridge. I’d realised ahead of time that I would be short on inspiration and in a rush, so I shopped accordingly.

This is another gessoed page in my altered book of dreams. I drew very fast, almost like blind contour drawing. I used  an Artline pen (which I’m starting to prefer over the Pigma Micron) then coloured with watercolour pencils. The background was done with Aquash watercolour crayons, blue & yellow, then wet. Note that the collage has gone by the wayside. I’d had to get out too much stuff and spend too much time sorting through it. I’m 100% decided that collage in my sketchbook must be relevant, like this one. Then it’s easy – you have the stuff on the day & just glue it in.
