Hill silos

These sketches of silos are a nice motif for a drawing. I have done a few watercolors of them as well.
These are also India ink stick drawings. Just like the other day.  The process is very basic.  A dark ink that gives very little options for mid-tones. Or I should say that once the wet ink on the stick is gone, it begins producing textured light gray lines that can be very expressive, but limit your tonal range to a minimum.  You are constantly working from dark to light, dark to light, as you repeatedly dip the stick in the bottle.



A very similar motif taken from the same original road trip thumbnails. These 2 sketches are each less than four inches tall...
