This place is simply amazing! With many acres of woods, creeks, bluffs and farm land, it is hard to focus on one subject! When I saw the old John Deer and hay wagon, I simply had to draw them in pen and ink - and rest them in their setting. With such a detailed sketch, the actual line work took longer than normal. I like to do those initial lines with a water resistant ink, coming back in with an ink I can move with a little water. This particular paper is a handmade Shizen cotton paper, and one that is tricky for me to use. This paper resists the ink a little before accepting it, making it harder to control. With a little effort, I bent it to my way, and this drawing now hangs in the owner's home. Painting number 3030 in 3030 days.
