Woodland Spring – Inktense, Watercolour and Pastel
I’ve been trying to figure out a way to depict my favourite trees and this is getting near the end of the journey. I started with trying different sketching techniques while using different media. This one, a mythical forest scene, uses three separate ones. The sky is in watercolour, the distant trees are in pastel while the sharper, near stuff is done using the new Inktense block colours. I think this is about as far as I want to go with mixing media as I might make things too complicated. Will try to concentrate on specific genre in the next few posts.

Beautiful scene. I really like your mixing technique. It gives it extra depth and fun. And thank you so much for the book, drawings so beautiful, treasure. I am afraid I will have to come in person to thank you for your kindness and generosity.

Thank you folks. Glad this seems to have worked. Its all a learning curve. Glad you like the book Nikira. Hope it gives you some (more) inspiration. No need for thanks. Who knows, I might just visit NYC one day.
