New month, new walk for the Virtual Sketchwalk group on FaceBook.

Berlin is our city this month, with contributions from two photographers, Rich Matheson and Eli Weisz.

I played fast and loose with this sketch using a Sailor Fude pen.  I did an under-coat of shadow in a waterproof grey ink.

Watercolors topped the inks.  I didn’t get the image dark enough.  My limitation was the sketch paper of the Hahnemühle Nostalgie Sketchbook book, which is meant for LIGHT watercolors and sketching.

I used the Nostalgie as if it was heavy watercolor paper capable of taking multiple wet layers!  The thing is, I don’t always plan or even know where I am going with my sketches,
so I sketch so often in my Nostalgie, where I can noodle around!

This image intrigues me enough that I may redo it in
a Hahnemühle 100# Cotton Watercolour Book; possibly the challenge of
the shadows and the light coming through the darkness.
