Everything about Woodstock looks a bit exaggerated, houses, streets, people, atmosphere. Every time you see something new, something you didn’t notice last time. I used Sepia ink and few Kuretake pens, and this time I used piston water brush, which feels like a real brush, with animal hair. Just have to add a bit of water by twisting barrel instead of squeezing. And if I put brush down water is seeping away.

I used ink and Kuretake pens on old paper.

2011Oct 24tags: A Night's drinking with friends | October 2011 | Theme ChallengeFig and berry cake. I can call it “A Night’s drinking with friends”, because that what we did, but wine we had was so amazing that I didn’t get a chance to include it in my drawing it was gone too quick, wine from Chile. My friend already got two more bottles, so I will get a chance to draw it, I hope. Color is almost as deep as a cognac. Ink and Kuretake on aged paper.

2011Oct 21tags: ink | Ira | Upstate NY | WurtsboroWurtsboro. Driving Upstate, meeting beautiful landscapes like meeting people, always a joy and surprise. Some roads don’t have a shoulder, where I can park, what a pity. On Road 32 huge wet rocks with dripping water, every time passing by I stare at it helplessly with hungry love, barely enough space for cars and then sharp cliff.
