Exploring the same image in pen and ink in my new watercolor moleskin...I love the way the differing mark making forces the description to change even while I strive to describe the same thing...
Anyway, "sussurro" (whisper) is a word that has been buzzing in my ears for a long while now, originally I thought of it as the name of a tiny row boat on which I would make my escape in the middle of the night...but that is another image...
The gouache set I inaugurated in the second sketch, "Sink or Swim" is brilliant and easy to use!  sort of a one chance tool, no going over, going back, the opposite of oil painting. 
Have primed another canvas, speaking of which, in a dark mauve textury gesso, and I plan to work on the same image AGAIN!
