I'll be in a garden today, with a labryinth and will be inspired by your lovely drawing. lovely composition and a great way to handle the subject of the labyrinth (or however it’s spelled!)

Lately I've been doing the scan (fairly washed out), then playing with the levels and brightness in Photoshop until what I see on the screen matches what I see in my sketchbook. Bill: I do get the occasional backrun, but try to just ignore them (it's just a sketch, after all!). The trick though is to monitor the color/water ratio and always go more concentrated if you're adding to a wet area, or be sure to pull away and down from an already painted area if you are painting nearby with a weaker mixture. I hope that makes sense; it's hard to describe! Peter: Yes, I too struggle with the color levels on my scans.
