Once in a while the weather keeps me from going out to sketch. This past week we had what around here is usually called a nor'easter but this time was renamed a bomb cyclone. I don't know who made up the term but I do know that the west coast was also affected by one. We had heavy rain and strong winds, so I stayed home. Of course I needed a subject for my Inktober sketch so I looked around and spied a cluster of tomatoes. Not only would they suffice for Inktober, they would fit in the current Wet Canvas scavenger hunt. I just didn't have the heart to forgo color for this and pulled out the Zebra Zensations fountain pens I have. I wasn't sure I would be able to get the colors I needed but they worked using the red, the (bright) green and the purple. It gave me more shades than I had expected...and helped brighten the day a bit.
I’m pretty sure it takes bad weather like a bomb cyclone to keep you home for sketching. I need something to make me go out to sketch. Hopefully when I get the big book done.
ReplyDeleteI love these red tomatoes!!
Thanks, Jo. It was different to do a still life for a change.
DeleteI'm impressed by the colors you got from the inks! I heard that our "bomb" went in your direction. They were calling it another "atmospheric river" and "moisture firehose," too! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI was really surprised by the colors I got with the inks. The weather has been strange lately...here and on the west coast.
