    1. Actually, they're pretty fast. Since I'm not a perfectionist, I don't spend that much time on the initial sketch, or painting on the gouache for the whites, or the black ink lines. What takes a long time are the three drying periods--for the gouache to dry before you ink it, for the ink to dry before you wash it off, and for the paper to dry after that so you can put lines on it.

      And consider Kansas duly greeted!
