Canvas and Pen

  

Quick Checked Canvas 

(as seen in my example for Clarity Stamps.)

My original example (above) was coloured using black Micron pens but when it came to replicating it for these instructions, I used the pens to hand, which happened to be Pitt Pens - assorted black set - by Faber Castell. In colouring the squares, I found the brush pen much quicker,  with more even and consistent coverage than the Micron pen, particularly on the uneven canvas surface. 

*This canvas took no more than 20 minutes from start to  finish.
