I haven’t done anything in straight pen and ink for a long time so I decided to give it a try again. Pen and ink is a real challenge for me because I struggle with adding too much detail. I really love detail, but I can carry it too far at times. I don’t ever remember doing a landscape like this in ink before–I wanted to show the different “layers” of trees and ground. I’d like to try a similar landscape, only draw it more simply next time. It was a lot of fun to draw for sure.

The scene depicts the view from Fox Hill in Bernardston, Massachusetts. Bernardston is a small town in a very out of the way part of the state. I love it there! It was the same place that I spotted the pheasant.
