I wanted a way to experiment with colours and I thought this would be the best way to do it as watercolour paints give bright colours and complimentary washes and can be used quickly and easily.
This background was a mix of watercolour paints and soft pastels. I have been trying to match the colour to the subject as best I can, if that makes sense- so the earthy tones of this background fit the stag drawing on top of it.
This was a redraw of a life model sketch. I used fine liner to draw it again because I thought it looked really sharp against the painted background.
A few more examples of drawings with. colour backgrounds:
