Water Lily. Night Harvest. 2017 Sketchbook. Coffee and Ink. @ Ania Pawlik 2017

It called to me on a rustic fall day. Doodling with watercolors.

Inktober Day 7: "Enchanted." Pen & Ink & Watercolor.

I drew these guys with a Pilot Custom 823 FA and Platinum Carbon Black ink. The FA nib has a good drawing width on watercolor paper - one of my favorites. It's a soft nib but I don't use the line variation, just some nice shock absorption with each downstroke. The Carbon Black ink is out-of-this-world good, though being pigmented I fear keeping it in too many pens.

"Quick, Stop the Bully Drop!" v2.0, redrawn and colored with Holbein watercolors, 9"x12".

This was drawn with a Japanese fountain pen, Japanese ink, and painted with Japanese watercolor. To be specific - I used Holbein watercolor and Platinum Carbon Black in a Pilot Falcon. This trio is perfect for me.

Watercolor practice

I've been traveling all summer and had not been able to make any art. Here is my first painting in a while. A little bit of art therapy.

Sketch n watercolor

I’m 32 days into a 100 day project of little paintings to reclaim moments of creative joy with no strings attached – a daily reminder of what made me want to be an “artist” in the first place. I’m posting daily on my Instagram account @stephdillondesign

Started with watercolor and played with it digitally
