A few family sketches on prepared surfaces in my large Canson watercolour sketchbook.
I'd forgotten just how much prepared backgrounds add to a sketch and since I have had mixed media out on my desk recently for the 'Mixed Views' project I thought I'd dabble on a page....which soon turned into a few pages.
They look so much more interesting than just ink sketches and give instant 'meat' to a few minutes work.

I've never tried preparing pages ahead of time, but I like the look you got with it under the pen lines. Nice!!!
The colours add a new dimension to your family sketches - not sure the boys woudl like to be sketched on GIRLY PINK though!
Had my hair cut and coloured today and bought some new light weight long sleeved tops to go under our Norwich purchases. - feel like a new woman.
These are great! You've inspired me to try it myself. The color wash makes your drawings come to life!
The addition of color to these really adds so much.
Your kids are so good about you sketching them! Mine have fits. I finally did a self portrait, not very good but I'll have to post it.... Marva
Anita these are wonderful! The undercolour is perfect.
