Inking out the north Kent coastline in ‘scratch pen’ |
The tide’s in |
Before adding a (water)colour, I have to wait for exactly the right time for the clear water ‘base’ to become a sheen, (not a sopping wet puddle). |
When the water base is ready, the new colour pigment flows into it seamlessly. |

The main colour work is complete |

The scratch, or ‘dip’ pen provides a lovely ‘fat and thin’ elegant line |
