Starting with splats

I bought some Derwent paint pens so I could draw with paint. Instead I've been using them to make washes. I started three tiles with washes: black and gray on white paper, white on black paper, and blue on tan paper. Here are the three tiles with just the ink splats:

For some reason I tackled the black paper first. I drew in both black ink and white ink, and fine tuned with a lot of pencil crayons. I'm rarely happy with my results of white on black work, but I really like this one!

I saw a leaf shape on the white tile so I went with leaves again. I left the trunk branches untangled; it seemed better to keep it simple and let the leaves stand out.

Maybe I was still inspired by two recent DivaCZT challenges, one to use leaves as inspiration, the other to spill something on the tile first.

In any case, I was on a roll. On the tan tile I did more leaves and tangled in brown and various blues and white. I'm calling this one 'Water Leaves Bubbles' (sort of like Eats Shoots and Leaves). :D

Tangles:
'Night Vines' - Tipple, Betweed-ish, and lots of lines
'Aspen Fall' - Finery, Pearlz, Betweed-ish, Tipple (Caviar version)
'Water Leaves Bubbles' - Black Pearlz, Finery, Nipa, Pearlz, Tipple (Caviar version)
