Most of my drawings are done in pen and ink, using technical and artist pens and old fashioned dip pen and India ink. Sometimes I finish the piece with watercolor washes or artists colored pencils. The drawings are usually done by stippling, which is putting down one dot at a time on the paper. It’s very time-consuming, but I love the way the drawings come out by using this process. At present, I'm selling some of my prints and notecards at |
