Loving the stonework pillars and the iron gates, I set up in the shade to determine my composition. With the light streaming through the trees, the landscape was very inviting. Taking out my favorite pen (which I just refilled with raven black ink) I drew the scene before me. Today's paper is 100% cotton rag with a rather rough texture and a thicker coat of sizing than my usual paper. The ink flowed perfectly, and I didn't have trouble with my water brushpen gumming up (as I sometimes do). This paper is available in town, though it's origin is also India. Great to find another paper to love, there are so many that fall short of excellent. Painting number 1933 in 1933 days. My, how time flies!
