I'm accustomed to building up my watercolors. I do color comps before committing to the final page. I am working on being more spontaneous - the gesture work has been helping me loosen up a lot.
I may or may not paint during the sketchcrawl. It's tricky balancing art supplies, looking, and then drawing!

Nice painting Karen. I love your watercolor work a lot.
Thanks for the kind words! If it didn't take so long to paint, I'd probably produce more comics.
I usually work pretty fast with my watercolors, I think it gives it a bit more energy and life.
If you are worried about painting on the originals you could look to xerox the drawing onto watercolor paper.
Are you going to paint during the sketch crawl?
