Old Tree ATC
I Love using pen and ink for such timeless subject matter. This drawing could have been drawn a century ago, the method and tools are the same. I used a favorite fountain pen loaded with Levenger's Raven Black ink, and use a water brush pen to gradate and soften edges. For those lines I don't want to move, I use De Atrementis archival ink in another fountain pen which has an extra fine nib. I must be careful of such a small nib on handmade paper, one can do easily tear the surface. I am sketching in miniature tonight - because it is late and I've had a very full day! There are never enough hours for all I want to do in a day. Loved getting to draw this grand old tree - even after dark! Painting number 3345 in 3345 days. 💕🎨
