I remember when I used to omit power lines from landscape paintings, not wanting to break up a beautiful composition with man made lines. Now, I like them and the realism they add to a simple drawing. I really think this is a nod to the increased urban sketching I've been doing these last months! I love the paper in this particular journal, a velvety, 100% cotton long fibered rag on the thin side. I can add a really wet brush to my ink renderings, and still the ink does not bleed through the paper..... though I fear it might. I like this journal so much, I got another one just like it! This painting makes 1635 in 1635 days....I think, maybe I better check.....!
You are amazing Tammie!
