Probably my favourite medium, certainly at this time, is soluble pen. I just fancied doing a quickie sketch and was trying to think of a subject when a friend posted a photograph of an old fishing boat on another forum. The biggest problem I have with sketches like this is leaving them alone. I see lots of pen lines and brush strokes that cause me to think "why did I do that?" and there is this massive urge to pick up my pen and try to correct things. I think the technical term is 'fiddle'.
I am also a fan of watersoluble pen. It is perfect just as it is! Definitely don't fiddle - I make that mistake far too often!
ReplyDeleteNice sketch, John, and yes fiddling is hard to resist sometimes!
