As written in earlier posts, when I am on a short vacation I do take only drawing materials with me and make smaller works than usual. During these days I actively search for subjects that are great for these small drawings, full of details that need sharp pencils and nothing else to do that day. As far as my patience goes...
Very close to our vacation home was a bush that had some of the larger branches covered in lichens. The light colours of the lichens are great on a black background so I started drawing. The lichens have been treated with water, to 'awaken' the colours and after that had dried, I applied a second layer of colour. I did not do this to the branch, to make the subject stand out as much as possible.
The information about the materials I have used, the size of this drawing, its availability and - if you are interested in my original artwork - my contact information can be found in my Tumblr blog.
