This was a quick sketch of the original theme, done with water soluble ink. I applied water in order to get a dramatic sky.

This is one of my favorite photos. I took it one evening. I forget where I was going. I like the drama. I included the reference photo for the initial sketch of this series to show the mood I aspire to create in this series. Please visit my Etsy shop for my artwork for sale […]
I like to look over my work after I finish a series of 8 variations on a single theme. Sometimes I can remember a logical thought process that led to the next sketch but other times there is a leap of imagination. I really like it when the latter process works well. Please visit my […]
