As ongoing practice of hatching with ink during last week’s class, I copied another sketch by
Van Gogh over the course of a couple of days. I chose this sketch (shown below)
to copy because it displays such an amazing range of mark-making – straight lines,
curved lines, dots, dashes, curly-cues. The tree seems to be straight out of Dr. Seuss.
Instead of a dip pen, I used a variety of fountain pens and
inks for this exercise – my Pilot Falcon (FA) and two Sailor fude pens.

Wow!!! Wonderful ink hatching, Tina! You used such a variety of hatch marks!
