I thought it would be interesting to see how a sketch would turn out using just one color in a water brush filled with diluted De Atramentis Document Black Ink. It was difficult to vary the values and tone. I couldn't seem to achieve what I originally envisioned so I abandoned the idea and added some light color pencil marks for shading and used the Platinum Carbon Ink pen to define the lines.
Perhaps it would be different if I were to use a black and white watercolor paint. One day I'll come back to this again.
Nice experiment. Good seeing you and your tripod today in the Bronx.
ReplyDeleteThanks Joan. It was good seeing you too. I'll know you're away once your blog pics start coming in smaller than the usual size.
