I've done no prep work - though the thought of applying gesso before I begin is a good suggestion which I will try. It would perhaps roughen the surface which might be interesting. <br />This whole thing is fun. In the new year, I will have to settle down to something focused ready for an exhibition next year, but right now, I have the time to drift with my mood and explore what comes to mind.

It seems to offer me freedom of expression in a way that pencil does not and I like the great contrast in tone and mark that is possible.
