Step 1- rough in stripes w pencil.  

Step 2- apply black house paint in large horizontal stripes. Texture black stripes vertically with broom. I think it is this step that makes the piece.

Step 3- apply ink. Let the ink work itself into the texture from the broom.  

Step 4- apply pastels in rows of individual stripes until satisfied.  

 See "murmur of water"  post  I to see what inspired this piece.
