It is a dark and rainy day here in France. We are “stuck” in front of the fireplace, with books and music, some red wine….and ink.

Cloches, a crystal and a branch…………unipen, brush-pen, splattering with brushpen, moleskine.
Pens and nibs….uni-pen, brush-pen, speedball pen and nibs, splattering with nib(C1), moleskine

BEAUTIFUL! The line work just sings with energy and spontanaeity!!!! MORE MORE!
Well good for you – this weather has inspired me to dive into my novel and not come out! You seem to be getting more and more comfortable with straight line work – it’s lovely.
As the last leaves fall from the trees and the weather colors everything steel gray, these beautiful ink drawings of yours become richer in their sparness. They look so relaxed!
Lovely work Ronell!
It is so fun to see the barebones of your work. Because I can see you having fun!
Loving these pen and ink sketches you’ve been doing. and I have to say, “stuck” where you are certainly looks more interesting than “stuck” where we are.
Remarquable!
Good Lord, you could work in mud with a stick and wow us!!! More, More, More
Gosh, these are fabulous! And I , on the other side of the Atlantic, am having the same inky fun as you! Now, we just need to get together and spread ink all around the same room ;D. (My studio updo should be finished in a week or so, so come on over!)
So good, Ronell! I especially like the piano drawing; it seems as if the sketch were full of music with all the splatters; nice work!
I love rainy weather, magic seems abound when the earth is all nice and fresh. I see them in your sketches, Ronell … magic 🙂
Wow, you have been amazingly productive lately, I love everything you have here! These ink sketches are so exquisite, and so are the ink and watercolours further down the page. Thanks for the inspiration!
At last, I found a spare moment to catch up with one of my favourite blogs. Your sketches are wonderful as always, Ronell, and reading your posts are always a treat. I LOVE the piano sketch! 🙂
No matter what medium you use, Ronell, there is always an incredible amount of vitality and energy in your artwork. Love it!
Well, you certainly made the most of a rainy day! These are amazing. I’m especially impressed that you even ATTEMPTED a piano — much less that you did such a wonderful job with it!
Delightful drawings, Ronell. I love the combination of pen and brush and splattering. Beautiful confident, music in your marks.
Lovely drawings and such detail! I really want to do some pen drawings now – bit scary because I won’t be able rub out mistakes!
Oh, your ink sketches are sooo lovely. Ilove them all…..
These are so exciting to see! Quite the opposite of stuck–they’re exciting and vibrant and full of life.
Thank you for visiting and all the support!
Jess – that is exactly why it is good to do inkwork! It breaks the fear of making mistakes.
