Exciting-In Living Color

It's so black, white and gray outside. I wanted to play with some color to give me a lift.
This is new paper especially for acylic paint. It's 256 lb. and it has a very coarse texture to hold the paint. I tore pieces of tape and did a design on the paper. The I painted the background with black Chinese ink. I removed the tape, painted the white places with Golden Liquid Acrylics then layered oil pastels. Sometimes I scratched thru several layers with a brush handle. Fun.
