Drippy background

This was part of a class assignment. I didn't know we were going to do the drippy background so I had drawn in some background tiles and now I can't erase them. I keep seeing a lot of things I need to change about this but I think I'm just going to quit working on it. To make the background we made the paper wet in spots and dabbed on colors. We let the background drip and dry - then painted on top. It made an interesting effect, I think. My friend, Louise Best, took this picture on a mission trip.
