Prepare and Fill Your Page

Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday!

Today we'll make a background wash first, using watercolors. When the wash has dried, you can do a drawing on top.
It's very different rom drawing straight onto the white paper - there's already something there to work on/with (so you're tricking your inner critic that might be afraid of the blank page staring at you!).
You can randomly fill some pages in your sketchbook - to surprise or challenge yourself whenever you get to that page. It's a gentle reminder to yourself to change things up every now and then.

I'll take you outside to the park close to where I live, to enjoy the last bits of bright yellow fall colors.
