Belton Presbyterian Church ATC

This historic Presbyterian church on Main Street in Belton often calls me to paint it!  I love the architecture and wonderful angles - it makes a dramatic statement in the landscape.  This is another ATC bound for Mexico, a little piece of Belton.  My intention was to get to Kansas City for some of these, but I simply don't have the time to do it!  I'm drawing first with India ink, then going in with watercolor.  The India ink dries so quickly that I have no issue with it bleeding when my watercolors come in contact with it.  I've been using Pitt pens for this, but I'm thinking of loading a Lamy fountain pen with India ink.  This particular pen has a very fine nib - so may be perfect for this tiny paintings!   But, I've got to clean it first!  Painting number 1797 in 1797 days.
