Inktober, 21 Galley Sunflower

We had Sunflowers whose stems were not standing up tall.
I popped them into smaller vases and spread their cheer throughout the studio.

One place was in front of the many-colored Fiesta-ware plates in our studio galley.

Middle-of-the-night.

I am just learning watercolours – and I’m tempted to use ink with them. What do you think? I love your little sketches.

  I use ink a lot, but so far when I tried MIXING them while wet it didn’t do well!
  Check out grisaille and brunaille (lots on this if you search on the side but here are a couple to move you in the direction):
  
  Tools: Grey Inks for Grisaille
  
  Pentalic: Grisaille Peek-a-boo Sheep
  
  Check out the underpainting in palms: https://dkatiepowellart.me/2017/08/01/hahnemuhle-post-cards-7-palms/
  I will do a vlog on this soon too….
