Pages 26 and 27 happened in dark of night last night. I got to thinking about Kandinsky’s color patches and just went into a similar experiment, but without the same schematic. Strong color is moving. Pastels deliver surprisingly strong color. Mixed with water, the pigments run, some of them.
And the mixtures are delectable. Or awful!

The little gel pen is fun for poking into corners with.

So this is my play for the day yesterday, and today’s digitally enhanced version, below.
