11/12/14 Kuretake brush pen, Pilot Iroshizuku Fuyu- syogun ink, Canson XL 140 lb. paper |
Nearly two months ago I sketched this same Greenwood
neighborhood traffic circle from the opposite direction. Last time I thought it was interesting that the three
maples were showing such a wide range of color from pure green to yellow to
bright red. This afternoon the easternmost tree was completely bare, while the
other two still had a scattering of yellow leaves left.
First I sketched the scene with a twig and India ink (for
the 5-Day Black & White Challenge).
I loved the stark monochrome look of it so much that I tried it again, this
time with my Kuretake brush pen, which I often use to sketch bare trees in
winter. Finally I tried it one more time with twig and ink with the addition of
touches of color.
(Yes, the sky is bright blue behind those trees! Even though
the temperature is only in the high 20s and 30s, we are still enjoying
sunshine!)
