Topic: Sketch Challenge
I am absolutely loving the personal challenge of working on all of the Operation Write Home sketches in order. It really makes me think creatively to meet the constraints of the designs and still make them my own.
Here is OWH sketch 190:
I had an uncolored stamped image on watercolor paper and decided to use Distress Markers on it.
The colors in the image set the stage for selecting papers. I really just needed three - one for the frame, one for the background and one for the offset bands.
I wanted the background to be fairly open to not be too busy since the focal image is so detailed. The sky color was carried over to the offset strips.
The sketch called for a couple of embellishments in the upper left so I added some brown peel-off leaves.
