Another coffeeshop sketch.

A drawing of my brother's flat. It's a linework piece with some hatched shadows. The direction of the hatching suggests light coming from a particular direction.

Sunny Autumnal day. I experimented again with the watercolour and ink technique. Again I painted the scene without trying to produce a finished piece, and then added in the detail with the dip pen. Maybe I overdid the ink work a bit...it seems to depend on the subject how much detail to add.

This drawing was made using a dip pen and ink. The shadows are a combination of hatching and cross-hatching. The subject resides in the Natural History Museum in London.

A dodo skeleton at the Natural History Museum London from a while back. Dip pen and Indian ink.

 

Bit of late night drawing.

 

 

Saturday afternoon sketching in the 'Rendez-vous des Amis' in Montmartre. I began by painting the scene in watercolour, without trying to be too precise. Then, using a nib and pen holder and a bottle of ink, I drew in detail on top of the painting. The series of photos below show various stages of completion...
