Three spears by Sydney Harper
Ink and watercolor
I didn't mean to disappear but I took on some extra work that left me with very little spare time. So I had a choice between doing a little art and blogging about art. I chose doing art because otherwise what would I talk about if I blogged and didn't paint. It's amazing how much art you can squeeze in if you set your mind to it. Here's another veggie ink and watercolor – asparagus spears. The nice thing about these food sketches is that I get to eat my props when I'm done.
Here's a couple useful tools I found when I managed a little down time.

Mmm... asparagus...
we just had asparagus last night - yum! and yours looks just like it! if it tried to draw asparagus i am sure it would wind up looking like a bunch of weeds!
When you do an ink and watercolor, do you paint first or do the ink? Do you do a pencil sketch before both? I love the soft colors in this one.
I almost always do the ink first, no pencil. Once I'm satisfied with the ink drawing, I'll add the watercolor. Rarely if I'm working on something that needs more precision, I'll draw in pencil, add ink, then erase the pencil and follow with watercolor.
I know of some people who do pencil, watercolor, and leave the ink until last. We all have our quirky ways of working I guess.
