Finally, the sun is out - and the view from our condo is amazing! The sunrise woke me up and I inked and painted before the others were up. I left my India ink pen in another bag so I'm using my favorite fountain pen for the initial sketch. I tried not to get into it too much with the water afterwards, because I didn't want the ink bleeding into the gouache. This is the first time I've used gouache on this extra rough cotton paper - and it worked well. I don't realize how heavy and rough this paper is until I return to it from the soft, buttery papers. I do love to try them all! Painting number 1899 in 1899 days.
