Last week I experimented with a
limited color palette. Today I took it a step further and used only one color. In the spirit of sketching on a lazy Sunday, I sketched in bed, on a Sunday morning while sipping coffee.
I used a black water coluble pencil and then went over the pencil lines with a wet brush. I wanted a more washed, watercolor look so I decided to run a large wet brush over the whole thing. I was nervous I would end up with gray blobs but I like the way it came out and I think it's not bad for about a 30 minute effort!
