Versailles Building, New Orleans.
My first post on here, and also the first page of my themed watercolor Moleskine, Exile: New Atlantis. This work will focus on the concept of exile from a personal, metaphorical, and narrative perspective. It will also draw from my experience as a New Orleanian in exile, post-hurricane Katrina, and the broader experience of being an outsider. This image-00 Rapidograph, Dr. Ph. Martin’s Bombay India Ink. The man in the rearview mirror is the face of an Art S. Buck anatomical model. The rest of the image is from my own photo reference.

Thank you trebor, nikira, and Nuria for the comments and the welcome. I,too,am glad that I got the uploading problems sorted out.
nikira: With the Bombay India Inks, I only have five colors, bright red, teal, blue, purple, and yellow. In this one I think I used all of them except for the red, not counting the black india ink in the pen.
When I use watercolor, I usually use a larger assortment of colors.
