Inktober - Day 18 & Painting in Greenport

Here is another ink sketch done with a stick. The different edges of the whittled point give different textures. It is a fun way to work.This was sketched at The Grange in Sayville which has replicas of some historical buildings.

When I post the Inktober sketches I keep forgetting to also post the sketches/paintings I am doing in addition to the Inktober ones. My friend and I went out to Greenport which is on the tip of the north fork of Long Island. There is a nice area with a boatyard but it was just too windy to sit there. We decided to sketch houses instead. There are some great ones in the town.

    Tina, thanks. I figure this is a good time to practice with them.

  7. I really like your stick pieces Joan they are detailed yet looser - very cool. A very interesting house for your watercolour painting - good job!
