94-2864 – Continuous line

Here is my fifth version of the “same subject different ways” challenge with @koosjekoene – this time using a continuous line (not taking the pen off the paper) to draw the #StillLife. After the line-work I used my #MontMarte watercolour marker pens to add the colour (plus a little bit of conventional watercolour). I struggle with the marker pens a bit because they tend to eat the surface of the paper if I apply more than one stroke…also my line work seems to have disappeared under the paint!

69-2284 – Flowers

I tried something different for this sketch. I started with my new watercolour marker pens, splashed on a bit of water, drew a few lines with some watercolour pencils and finished off with some ink. These were flowers my wife brought back from attending a wedding the other day – and I can’t resist sketching flowers.

69-2279 – New colours for 2023

For Christmas I was given a set of watercolour markers by my daughters partner (Mont Marte brand). This is the first time I’ve used something like this – they worked very well and the colours blended nicely when I added water, even if my sketch ended up a bit messy.
