Again, Ganesha.
Kuretake Sumi black ink applied with the Black Gold 1/4 flat brush from last year’s October Sketchbox. Geranium Red ink Kuretake brush writer. On a Hahnemühle rough watercolor postcard (230g/m2).
I later sent this to Véro.
Ah, Ganesha. A favourite subject! I’ve drawn it two or more times before so I don’t need any sketch underneath anymore.
I used a flat brush and black Sumi ink. The thinner the ink in the brush the more the strokes look like pencil, but it’s all brush and ink! I used a Geranium Red ink brushpen from Kuretake for the scarf.
This is part of a series using red as a highlight colour. See the other four.
This last five-day series uses red as highlight color.
I started with red acrylic paint that I applied in a circle with a coarse brush and let it dry. Then I drew the branches and the blossoms, using a white Posca pen on the red paint, and fine black line maker.
Black ink brush pen, red acrylic paint and a touch of mustard coloured paint on the beak and feet of the bird.

Quick work without any sketch.
I used burnt sienna Holbein Artists’ gouache, and a green ink brush pen from Sketchbox.

Badly drawn, badly shaded, it’s not even what I wanted to do but I had to improvise. I used all kinds of grey inks and black ink, and the new Geranium Red brush pen from Kuretake that I ordered online and received a few days ago.
