seaweed in progress

It has taken hours to draw the seaweed and transfer the image to the map, beautifully mounted by Alan Friday at Wood Works in Dover.  It makes a great surface to work on.  Now I am inking in.  Remind me to choose a smaller project next time. 
Like one leaf.  Or one flower.

New year, new crazy things to draw

I did not have to choose seaweed.  I went to Kingsdown beach with thoughts of dessicated fennel stems and sea cabbage, but after all the storms the remnants did not appeal.  However there was a lot of seaweed.  It is so difficult to draw it, keep it in the same place and keep it from drying out.  I may well regret this one.

The Christmas card went down well. Toby and Zenah were pleased with their picture and I drew Physalis for mum but forgot to take a photo of the finished images.  So here they are part done.  When I visit I will try to get a photo.

I have been trying to capture seed pods in ink too.
