![]() "Another Mercedes in Woodstock, VT" 16" x 12" Daniel Smith watercolors with pen on 140lb Fabriano Hot Press Pen & Ink on hot press paper is one of my favorite ways to work on location. The brevity of the time on site keeps my touch light and fresh. Street scenes are my favorites as people and cars move in an out of the scene keeping me alert for changes in the composition. I use a Sharpie pen directly, no pencil and respond to my environment as quickly and expressively as I can. Annette Compton |
