One day near the end of December last year, I dug out a bunch of thumbnails from previous road trips and found some that would make nice inks. This and others that I will post, came from that endeavor... These are done with India ink using a stick as the drawing tool. Maybe a popsicle stick, or a toothpick, a twig, or a piece of dowel rod.
Can't seem to make out what I wrote about the location of this one. Seems like it was somewhere along I-70. Iowa or Illinois. The ink was done on December 29th. This style of drawing is always spontaneous, unpredictable and, sometimes messy! But the results can be worth it.
These are both small drawings- less than 7 inches across. On the lower one you can see some splashes from sitting too close to the easel when I was doing a watercolor... but the ink turkey vulture was intended.
