Why do I love Line & Wash so much?

In Line & wash we combine waterproof ink with watercolour paint and when I first started to use this technique it blew my mind! The fact that I could make a drawing and then paint over it was just amazing.

Back then I was pretty good at drawing but I used to find painting really hard still. This way I could make myself a 'colouring in' make a drawing first and then paint over it. Nowadays I often paint outside the lines and I enjoy that freedom a lot too!
