Zendala Dare #70

I did a bit of experimenting this week.Thought I'd like to do my zendala on a coloured wash background so collected everything I needed to create a nice pink  one. Ho ho what fun! When I put brush to paper the linework began to run..so stopped rubbing the brush across the page and simply dropped the paint on. As there was then too much paint, I used a paper towel  to soak up the puddles. Because the paper towel was quite scrunched up, it created  an interesting texture. When dry I worked with a pink and a red Pigma micron no1 pen, and shaded with pink and red Prisma Verithin pencils. I did find the paper surface more difficult to draw on having the wash and being watercolour paper.
