Different Ways to Learn and Use New Designs

I saved some designs from a book about 30 years ago that I've been meaning to try so I've decided that this is the time to do it.

I had run out of stationery and needed to make some more so I decided to practice parts of the design on paper and card stock.

I used pencils on the paper and markers on the card stock. Both experiments worked well.

When I've had enough practice and am happy with my understanding of the design principals and possible combinations I'll move on to paints and return to painting dala horses combining this style with the things that I already know.

I'm looking forward to my new look.
