A Few From My Sketchbook This Week
Hofvijver
This is the Hofvijver (the court pond) in The Hague, Netherlands. I’ve recently gotten some acrylic inks and have been experimenting with them. They are similar to using watercolor, but when they dry they are permanent and can no longer be reactivated with water. This means you can do some interesting layering, and work from both light to dark, and dark to light.
