AT
LAST it feels as if we're picking up the pieces (of life, rather than chocolate
cake); we've had loads of work done around the house plus I've been getting
my latest book
off
to
the
printers
so, as
with my only diary entry last month, the only time I've had to draw has been
at various social interludes, such as Mother's Day, on the
2nd March.
The biscuits in the ramakin dishes at my mum's (right) were drawn
with my Uni-ball Eye Micro pen.
I've
been drawing so much with fibre tips recently that one afternoon I felt I needed
a bit of break so I got out a dip pen and a bottle of Nan King ink from the
top drawer of the cabinet under my built-in desk and drew the contents of the
next drawer down; set square, clips, a natural sponge, sample bottles of pre-mixed
tonal washes from my location work on High Peak Drifter, water bottles,
gum-strip and assorted scissors.
I was going to add watercolour but ran out of time, but, with all those assorted
shapes, it's fine in black and white.
