Farm - Pen and Ink plus Watercolor

I cannot believe I'm close to finishing yet another journal book.  After this two page spread, I have one page left in my Zeta.  I've sketched more this year than I have several years combined!!  I LOVE working in journals!!!!

For the building I used Lunar Red and Lunar Black combined.  One mix leaning towards the black and one leaning more towards the red.  I was wanting to see how they mixed together.

Pen used was the Platinum Carbon with Noodlers #41 Brown.

Worked the pen and ink sketch first, applied watercolor, and then went back with the pen in areas for added detailing.

  1. Love you most recent work, Susan. I agree about working in journals. My own drawing and observing skills have improved greatly. Perhaps you feel the same way.

  2. Thank you Lee. I sincerely appreciate that. As for my observational skills........it is getting easier for me but I personally feel I still have work to do in that department. I tend to "fill in" what I think should be there rather than what I actually see.
