Woodstock.

Everything about Woodstock looks a bit exaggerated, houses, streets, people, atmosphere. Every time you see something new, something you didn't notice last time.
I used Sepia ink and few Kuretake pens, and this time I used piston water brush, which feels like a real brush, with animal hair. Just have to add a bit of water by twisting barrel instead of squeezing. And if I put brush down water is seeping away.

Awesome tutorial.

Wonderful way to paint water with reflections and sun.

Local road.

Small road Upstate. Trying to figure out what ink bottle would be safe for me to take on trips. Something with heavy bottom so it won't turn over. J.Herbin is not bad and it has a rest for a pen, but I want something more compact.  Gotta research it. Here I used Sepia ink and blue Kuretake pen. I really enjoy drawing country landscapes, something healthy, free, honest in it.

Laying.

I used Sepia ink and touch of Noodler's Zhivago ink in Noodler's ball pen on Fabriano studio paper. First I wanted to add a color to eyes, but than decided that a hint of a glance is better than defined. The focal point here is femininity.

Photo snapped on my phone.

Such dramatic sky. Limited color, but so expressive.

Brooms.

Sometimes plain objects stop you on the way to tell their story, how it happened here, I felt that dry leaves flew in to remind me that autumn is real and nothing is forever.
I used ink and Kuretake pens on old paper.

Noodler's pen.

Dragging sketchbook through the day, grabbing all I can catch in my few minutes here and there.  Appreciating my new Noodler's flex pen.

Welcome.

I used ink and Kuretake pens. Paper is way too big for the scanner, so I struggled a lot and could not fit edges.  May be I should rescan it later. I wrote "You are invited" in Swedish. I was trying to draw still life against the light, but indicate some bits of color.

Cake.

Fig and berry tart. I used Sepia ink and Kuretake pens on old paper. Interesting how everything changes because of your paper choice. This paper is very old, it is probably travelled with me changing not one address, it lost its whiteness, it looks wise and witty, it takes ink lovingly.
I was charmed by open hug of this cake box, its wide wings and, of course, taste was mind blowing.

Stove in old house.

Wood stove in old house. Sketch in Sepia ink while waiting. Appreciating this old beauty, remembering happy years we spent here. First page in new Moley.

Kuretake brush pens in my new case.

I've been asked what is Kuretake, which one I use in my drawings.  I use few kinds, Twin, Brushables, Real Brush, water brushes H2O, Kuretake 13, Cocoiro  Letter pen. I like to take Kuretake brush pens with me in this roomy tall pencil case from JetPens. Here is few different kinds, some dual points, some bright, some muted colors. Looks different on different paper. Still a lot to try and experiment.

Cool link.

Cool designs.

Awesome tablet pen.

Heating spoon in your coffee.
I want one!

Simple house design.

Wurtsboro.

Driving Upstate, meeting beautiful landscapes like meeting people, always a joy and surprise. Some roads don't have a shoulder, where I can park, what a pity. On Road 32  huge wet rocks with dripping water, every time passing by I stare at it helplessly with hungry love, barely enough space for cars and then sharp cliff.
Used ink on Arches here.

Wine shop in Hudson Valley, NY.

Accord Wine Shop. House was built in yearly 1900, first as General store, and Barber Shop with a Billiard Hall in the basement. In  1940’s it became a Liquor Store. I used ink on Arches board.
