One idea I've tried and that seemed to work out well is to use a sponge with watercolors. I took a sheet of paper and a coarse sea sponge and then mixed a few different colors, in this case a few greens and a brown. Then I sponged on a random pattern , and some layers of the same, and I scratched in a little texture pattern with a bamboo stick. After it dried I sprayed on several layers of workable fixative. Then I made a pencil line drawing with the method I used in my portrait tutorial. After that I did some coloring with colored pencil and then lastly with a small detail brush and some paint. It turned out fairly well as an experiment and I plan do some more in a similar way in the future.
