Thank you Uni! It was a habit of mine for a while to free-hand with basic pens and color in whatever I drew with colored pencils if I decided I liked it enough, so I assume that&#39;s what I did with this one. I do agree that it resembles watercolor, though-- which I like and have messed around with as well! I&#39;ve heard others say that it&#39;s stressful, but I like the element of relinquishing control and just seeing what happens when you put it to paper and it finally dries. I&#39;ve even made abstract art by tilting the paper and lightly dolloping contrasting colors onto color that was still wet :o) It can make a very cool and fractal-like effect if done right.

I appreciate the comment on it resembling a Web Graphic of Olde, by the way. Capturing the soul of things of the past is a constant aspiration of mine.]]></description>
