This is today's INKTOBER post and I am sketching our acorns before they all drop off. As i worked, those acorns were falling from the tree. I even though a squirrel might be tossing them down, but there was not one in sight I am getting to know this paper better each day. It is a handmade and dyed paper that is thin. At first, it is resistant to the water, but then saturates and wells up a little until it dries. The ink spreads at will when wet, and dries lighter than it first appears. So, layers are necessary to get the full effect. I love how these drawings look so vintage, as if drawn a century ago. Painting number 5154 in 5154 days.
