tree fortythree
Posted by Peter Bangs on Friday, January 14, 2011
This and the next two trees were all drawn with a Faber-CastellPitt brush pen, chrome oxide green. The handling for a brush pen is very unbrushlike. It's more like a long, well worn, dip pen nib. It lacks the flexibility of either a brush or many other brush pens I've used over the years but it's a very comfortable pen to draw with and, as I discovered by accident yesterday while drawing in the rain, it works very nicely wet on wet.
This wa a recently pollarded ornamental Cherry tree outside Molly's school. I had some wonderful sweeping curves to the branches that just called out to be drawn.
