The old echo well - a pencil drawing

 


Today's prompt in the Sketch A Day app is 'Echo' and I had to think of an echo well at once. Now how to make a nice drawing about an old echo well....

Of course I wanted to add trees, so the well is (now) situated in a forest. There has to be green moss on the stones and on the trees and some larger grasses on the forest floor.

As I do more often these days I made a drawing with watercolour pencils, used water and added more layers of pencil for depth in my colours. The background is only pencil to suggest distance.

I really enjoyed making this small drawing and exploring the possibilities of both my pencils and the chosen paper.

The information about the materials I have used, the size and availability of this drawing and - if you are interested in my original artwork - my contact information can all be found in my Tumblr blog.
