Another sketch from the ubiquitous Exacompta sketch pad. While waiting for a burger at the Irish Circle, I noticed what looked to be a Mother and son talking at a table adjacent to mine. The Irish Circle is a sports bar--of sorts--and used to be an OTB venue. I think this accounts for their best dish being the all American hamburger. I'm enjoying the brush pen, pentel should really be commended on their product. Yet, a genuine Kolinsky sable brush would be so much nicer using a top quality ink--like Higgins--to make the marks. With a quill in hand, it would be mark-making heaven. Trouble is, all that kit is a drag to carry around. Still, I suppose I should. Perhaps with the next pad (I have 4 left), I can give it a whirl using "old school" graphic mediums. The grays in the sketch are laid down using a Pitt grey brush pen. It slightly reactivates the ink and gives--when worked fast enough--a nearly watercolor like effect. The time it took to get this down, is about the length of time it takes the Irish Circle to rustle up a burger, which is about 10 minutes.
