WATCHIN' 1000 TIMES NO PAINT DRY

Before I laid into the

final artwork for

my picture book

1000 TIMES NO

I spent a

LOT

of time 

experimenting

with watercolor.

Different paints...

Different papers...

Laying down a wash...

Then inking on top of it

and 

vice

versa

et al

et

cetera.

Here are a bunch of random

paint experiments

that happened.

They're not that far off from what

the book ended up looking like. 

But there are some fun notes

and I love seeing any art with 

paint splotches along the edges.

Ugh.

I wanna do 

another picture book

now.
