Still aglow from my encounter with Les Mis, I scrounged around for an old sheet of watercolor paper. (Paper? It's from one of those Arches "blocks." Maybe it's watercolor "board"?

Now I can mess around with Gimp, and play with backgrounds, brushes, patterns, shading, etc...and likely have a few sessions of tear-my-hair-out spasticivity. Computers and I do not generally get along. At least I know that after some freakout, I can calm down by spreading some watercolor paint on the original.
