We have a large hundred-year-old sofa in to be restored; the frame was badly broken, and all the buildup (stuffings) had to be replaced and re-engineered, because they were done wrong by a novice upholsterer, who changed the way the sofa would sit (uncomfortably) and look.
The fabric is a wild weave of huge butterflies and flowers and vines, against a backdrop of brilliant green teal.
It had to be sketched.
The linework was drawn with a Platinum Japanese Art Pocket Brush Pen,
which was fun — a new-to-me tool. I’ve owned it for a long time but never used it. Lettering was made with a Platinum Carbon pen.
