Recent Pen & Ink Sketches



Here are two Pen & Ink sketches I've done in the last two weeks.  They are minatures, 4" x 4".  I start with a   quick and rough thumnail sketch.  Then I go to watercolor paper and do a light sketch in pencil to get the right position.  Then alternate pen and wash with a brush.

  1. Very wonderful drawings, Phoebe. Burnt Siena is a great color for ink drawings. I'm not very good at prepering paintings with sketches, but I think Edgar could make me O:-)

  2. Lovely, you blog is so inspiring to all of us, doing the thumbnails help so much in prep work for a painting. I also enjoy pen and ink and water wash. I usually use the sepia ink or my rotring artpen.
    thank you for sharing.

    All the best to you,
    Joan
