ABANDONED

 


Now that I have my collection of ink pens at hand, I began thinking of doing something a little more complex and settled on this scene. I did a watercolor of this abandoned house that I saw on Lantau Island in Hong Kong some time ago and was pleased with the result. For this one I kept the composition a little simpler and tried to use the light and shadow to greater effect. The black areas were brushed in using ink then I began cross-hatching for the lighter areas. Details were either drawn in or stippled with various dots and dashes and for this I used a 0.8 mm pen. Size of this one is 11 x 8 in (28 x 20 cm), ink on paper.
