I wanted to sketch by natural north light, so I took advantage of my remedy for a gloomy afternoon; tea and cookies! After I had heated the water, brewed the tea and had taken a few sips, and ripped the red strip off the package of cookies, I realized that it was already 3:45 and the light was going fast.
So I grabbed my Lamy pen and waterbrush and got to work. No time for a bite of gingerbread cookies just yet!
4:28 pm-These cookies are yummy and the tea is still piping hot. Sip, sip, Ahhh!

I love this in ink...sort of like a throwback to the past.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Joan. I agree. The ink and wash treatment brings up an air of nostalgia, especially with a timeless subject like this.
DeleteNotice that I included the trophy shot so that you could admire my restraint in sticking to black ink instead of the very nice color scheme it presented.
