10/27/15 Inks |
The weather man says that today is the only dry day through
the weekend. Even though I’m busier than usual this week with work and travel
prep (more on that soon!), I stopped on the way home after a meeting for a
quick sketch in Shoreline, knowing that I may not get out again for a while.
Looking down Ashworth Avenue, I loved the way distant trees faded
off behind a layer of fog that will probably burn off by noon. Just about a
year ago I sketched a similar foggy view
in the same neighborhood. That time, I used watercolors. I was tempted to do
the same again this morning, but then I remembered Inktober. Diluting small drops of ink and
applying the dilution with a waterbrush, I got the inks to work just like
watercolors. (I am seriously starting to wonder why I bother with watercolors at
all when Inktober has pushed me to try so many fun things using inks only!)
