A month of trees. Very much back in my comfort zone as I’ve had a busy month with work and needed a more familiar subject matter for swift daily drawings. I was thinking that the range of greens was a bit limited, but then - after completing the final drawing - I found four extra greens hiding in my pencil case. Doh. Better late than never.
Week 2 - ink drawings
Sage flower (chinese brush on the left, and bamboo pen on the right)
Euphorbia – ink with chalk pastel
Broom - dip pen
Red Valerian – ink blob transfer technique
Penstemon leaves - negative space painted with white gouache, then covered in black ink and washed off… the ink is left in the unpainted spaces.
My second week of daily drawings in May – this week I’ve tried different techniques and drawing implements with black ink…
