Alas!

Beauty In Charleston

After long last, I have completed another piece. 2 vacations and much travel slowed me up, so I apologize to my loyal readers. This one is my favorite so far. I feel like each one is getting better. I ran out of ink during this one and switched pens. It turned out to be a great move, as the other gel pen that I had bought was 0.5 in thickness, and flowed like a gushing river. From now on, that will be my gel pen of course. One thing I learned: Keep multiple pens handy, as the quality of stroke decreases near the end of the pen’s life, and it shows. Luckily, I’m an artist, and can cover up those inconsistencies. :)

I learned a lot about documenting this piece, and how difficult it was to document the process photographically in a consistent manner. It occurs over several weeks (at least in this case it did), and I ended up removing it from the wall and working in different locations. Thus, my video time lapse will have to wait until I can document one of my next pieces in a more visually pleasing manner.

Stay tuned, and thanks for reading.
