Some Backgrounds

I've been having fun with doodles, gesso, stencils & ink in the last couple of days. Here are a couple of backgrounds...

First, a doodle. With prismacolors because I want it to come through in later layers.

Then some gesso through a crafters workshop stencil to make a resist (I only have a photo of the green one but I did the same on the pink).

See how some of the pencil is dulled & some brighter? I really like the effect.

Finally spray on some inks. I used Dr Ph. Martin Bombay Ink because it's permanent and I don't want it coming through whatever I do next.

Tomorrow I'll show you what I did next.
