You have to think back to when Morgan had just found the trail, and was stretching his lanky legs. This comes next.
The reason I had to wait on this was because I needed new masking fluid. What do you do with that, you ask? When you want a texture in the background that is "unbroken" by the figures in the foreground you cover the foreground areas with it. All it is is liquid latex that you can brush on.
I fooled around with it a couple of times before I started the real page. The first time, I didn't get good enough coverage, so when I started for real I put two coats on the moose. You can just barely see it's there. Some is shiny, and it's all sort of off-white.
When it's dry, you paint right over it so the lines in the water (in this case) aren't different on one side of the water lilies and the moose than on the other side.
When the paint is dry- completely dry- you rub it off.
Then you have the blank white areas remaining. In this case where the moose and lilies will go. I also added the far trees.
This was the first of the pages where I did a major goof with the ink. I fixed it on the computer. Hopefully, you can't tell where. Probably not at this size. I'll need to print a full size page to be sure it's ok.
Not sure if I'll get another page done tomorrow. I really need to do some other things. I linked to page 3 below if you want to refresh your memory.
But I did get the body of the prayer shawl finished today and started on the edging.
