Picture of the Day: "Watching the Gates"


I've been enjoying drawing on colored paper. This piece was improvised without any actual design or intention. I guess I just felt like drawing rocks! See how many watching faces you find. I wonder what's inside the ruined gates...hmm...could be a story here...

For this duotone, instead of white charcoal, I used a white watercolor pencil and another cool tool I just bought: a brush with a synthetic white sable tip and a hollow, squeezable  handle. Just fill the handle, screw on the tip and squeeze to make water flow to the brush. How cool is that? It should be an excellent travel tool. I used it on the white colored pencil and was very happy with the results.
