Sketching

I've started working on paper again. It's a synthetic paper that looks and feels like mylar, but it isn't. I found a roll of it (5ftx60yds) online and I bought it. It feels a bit strange working in a larger format, especially in water media. I'm working on a few sketches and smaller paintings to play with composition and form. The first large painting was new and now that I have a better idea of how the paper works with my puddles of paint I can move forward and plan out my compositions. Although, I kinda enjoyed just going at the paper and just responding to my previous brushstroke. Photos coming soon...
