Rain was in the forecast, but the prompt was "try many textures" and it seemed that an outdoor sketch would work best. It was raining lightly but I sat near the Islip Grange in Sayville.. I used a combination of a twig, a wooden pencil, a feather (didn't work well at all), a Q-tip, a dip pen, and the edge of a credit card to get the different textures. I also had a small pine cone but I couldn't find a way to dip it into the ink. I should have brushed some ink on it by hand.
