I used a fine brush to paint the liquid latex at random on my watercolor paper. The result was a network of negative space, over- (or under-) laid on the black-ink network I had previously drawn.
I started on one end of the paper with Permanent Green #1 and at the other end with Aureolin Yellow to get a graded wash.
I filled in the negative spaces with red on the green side and purple on the yellow side, with a few variations. I did save a few loops to fill in with solid colors.
Perhaps with a little more planning I could design a pattern of filled-in loops that would act in counterpoint to the mass of squiggles in the rest of the composition.
That green to yellow ground grabbed my attention right away. (K)
Thanks, Kerfe! It is very bright!

Very Miro-esque but with the talented hand of Jack. I like it a lot. N.
Thank you, Nina. Very kind of you to say!
