Making marks - Varying strokes with a dip pen
My reference photo for this drawing was taken in Petworth Park, a magnificent 18th century landscape designed by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown. I had no idea at the time that I would end up using this view as the basis for a pen and ink illustration in a book on drawing techniques. I was once a landscape architect, but I'm not sure it shows in this drawing. See the drawing and the pen nibs I used to make it on pages 126 and 127.
