Just got back from this evening’s weekly life drawing session at Swansea Print Workshop. I made a simple Victoria Sandwich to take along for tea break. This is one of our longest-serving models; she’s terrific and can hold a pose perfectly for ages. This is a one-hour pose drawn onto some handmade paper I bought at the Tate Gallery that I prepared with a dark grey ink wash. I used Faber Castell Pitt drawing pens, size M and B for the linework and a brush with Indian ink, white ink and an ink wash for the tones. Size more than A4, not quite A3.

Fantastic line quality, and I love the moodiness of the gray wash.
Thank you 😀
Great, the model and so are you! And I had a look on the Victoria Sandwich. Looks yummy!! Have a nice weekend! 😀
Thank you 😀
Seriously, though, where do you get white ink from? I’ve never seen it in regular art shops, but perhaps I’ve not looked properly.
Winsor and Newton white drawing ink – it’s nice to work with using a dip pen but too thick for calligraphy – they do a thinner one for calligraphic and fountain pens.
Thank you. Will investigate. I would be using a dip pen or, possibly, as washes.
It’s good quality
Did you tell everybody about the dead rat in the cupboard while they were eating your cake?
😀
Gorgeous!And thank you for the Mary Berry cake link too.
You’re welcome 🙂
Excellent and I bet the cake was good too!
Thank you. I don’t know, I rarely eat cake. Prefer crisps 🙂
