Pen and Ink Trees WIP

WIP, dip pen (8 x 10) on 140 lb Arches cold press

I fully intended to post this yesterday, but I got a bit behind and ended up working until pretty late last night. I underestimated how much time pen and ink really takes me and I got a late start as well. Rather than posting not much at all, I decided to wait until this morning and show you the completed inked version. Today I am going to do the watercolor. It is too big to fit in my scanner, as I’m doing this on a 10 x 14 watercolor block, so I took a photo of it. I brought it outside to photograph because the lighting inside is really bad, but I still don’t think it came out too good!

The bottom video is just a nice cover of the Magnetic Fields’ song, The Book of Love. This is a very beautiful song, but I don’t care for the original Magnetic Fields version very much. All the versions of this song that I’ve liked have been covers, the Peter Gabriel one being the most famous. What I like about this one is their harmonizing and that they sped up the tempo a little bit as well.
