Style versus Substance

Had an opportunity to draw the lovely Ami Amore, belly/fire/sword dancer extraordinaire.


This provided me with an excuse to try out a new technique I have been toying with. I have been wanting to add more color to my work lately but have been unhappy with my attempts at straight painting.

Basically, I put down a wash of watercolor and then draw over it. As the wash and the drawings are done separately, I have to consider the composition of the picture according to the background I have already made.


Though not nearly as controlled as I am normally accustomed to, the effort produced some surprising results. I am looking forward to experimenting with this process further.
