VSW: Sunflowers South of France

Posted on April 5, 2023 by D. Katie Powell

VSW: IM Pei, Louvre, France

Posted on November 21, 2022 by D. Katie Powell

This was sketched quickly in waterproof inks. A lot of controversy surrounded the Pyramid in front of the Louvre, by I.M.Pei. I have some of those trepidations myself, but it has grown on me. It was created to allow for … Continue reading →

Kakimori: OM

Posted on November 19, 2022 by D. Katie Powell

I continue to play with my Kakimori nibbed pens. I now have both the brass and the steel nibs. I love being able to change ink colors quickly by dipping, yet they hold more ink than a dip pen. My … Continue reading →

Posted on November 18, 2022 by D. Katie Powell

I rarely do a piece more than once… But I so loved this image and my first try I did not get the depth of color in my washes. I am here to say, once that happens start over, do … Continue reading →

VSW: Corbusier in Ronchamp, France

Posted on November 16, 2022 by D. Katie Powell

Had to do one Corbusier, and what a history this architect has with me. This is the Catholic Chapel in Ronchamp, France. Drawing this brought up so many negative memories… maybe I can begin to clear them out by getting … Continue reading →

Ranunculus

Posted on September 26, 2022 by D. Katie Powell

Okay, the first hurdle was spelling it correctly — I am dyslexic and oh-boy this one kept wanting to be turned around! A mix of inks for shadows, and watercolor… and I also removed watercolor from it. I think because … Continue reading →
