Just another quick painting that I did. I was testing out how well the paper would handle darker paint, and I’m still going to say with the pencil board behind the page, it is hardly relevant and doesn’t really impact my ability or distract me from writing on the next page.

Since I have my travel water color kit sitting on my desk, and I ended up doodling a bit during some meetings, I figured I’d do a little mixed media and see how well the paper would handle it.
