More wrong letters study with Brody Neuenschwander! For a brief explanation of this layered technique, see The Wizard of Oz post.

Layer 1. Sumi ink and watercolours applied with pointed pen and brushes on Fabriano 90# HP. 

Layer 2. Acrylic ink and watercolours applied with pointed pen and brushes. Inconsistent shadowing adds depth and graphic interest.

Just as I finished, two blue ink splotches landed on the bottom left corner of the sheet. Yikes! It would have been simpler to remove them digitally, but what would be the fun of that? The word ”yes” was added as camouflage.

My favourite letter is the G in the first line. She has attitude, so I gave her a scarf and a ponytail. Her name is Gigi. I think she is pole dancing!

In case you wish to decipher the two texts:
“Think of what you could do if you knew you could not fail.” Anne Sweeney’s paperweight.
“Something incredible is waiting to happen. Yes!” Lily Yee-Sloan.
