Another fun sketch Rox. Thanks for posting it last night. Gave me something to think about while I was sleeping! LOL ..........details................
I used that cute Kuddly Koala bear from Clear Dollar Stamps . It is new this month. Check it out! Stamped it on w/c paper and colored with w/c paints. Cut out, set aside.
I had some cs that I gessoed laying around so I used it here. I cut out the smaller panel ran a wet brush over then brushed re-inker for the blue bg. Sponged the edges for a darker look.
The next two panels were cut out of cs and edges were sponged.
The green bg was done on a gessoed cs panel. First I ran it through the cb then sponged peeled paint over and more on the edges. Lightly sponged the green in the middle, sail boat blue on the top and tea dye on the bottom hoping this made it look like a *forest* of bamboo with the sky peeking through. BUT then with all the layers on top, you can't see a darn thing. Oh well.
Layered this with black cs. Put everything together on a white card that I left white and just doodled the edges. Well, hope you like it........TFL :0)
