Our beautiful Starlight Green Egger hen, Mabel, is actually a rooster - so we changed his name to ABLE. He's a beauty to sketch in my special chicken sketchbook! This paper is in my Mr. Ellie Pooh sketchbook, which is made from actual elephant dung, in an effort to save these elephants in Sri Lanka. With this sketch, and the one before it, I used more water on the surface with the gouache than previously. The result is a splattered, sparkly appearance on the reverse side, which mimics a spray of shiny kamar varnish, on sprinkles! Though the paper does not work very well for watercolor, I am finding other mediums that will! I love exploring the possibilities! Painting number 4939 in 4939 days.
