I used a lazy watercolor wash and some cheap watercolor paper as my background and primarily recycled paper envelopes.  I found I really liked the color play between the green watercolor and the recycled manila envelopes that I had and spent a lot of time with that color scheme.  I learned a lot about moving the shapes around on the paper and also some things about my go-tos.

 

I may return later to do the last two sections, but I'm really happy with what I learned here.
