Color with Lines

These are samples from the next part of Extreme Composition Lesson 1 -- painting a background and experimenting with lines of different types.

The thick line in these two pieces is watered down acrylic paint, the rest of the lines are various pens.

I really love Jane Davies' classes, and I appreciate that she is encouraging us to stay loose and experimental, and to develop the skill and habit of observation without going directly to evaluation.  I so need to hear this. 

My goal for today is to complete lesson 1 so I can spend the next few days on lesson 2.
