December 22
I haven´t drawn anything in the sketchbook today. Instead I have been working on this bigger drawing/painting, of which this is just a tiny (enlarged) sneak peek. It´s a commission, but I don´t want to let you know what it´s for just yet.
It´s interesting to enlarge drawings like this. I know my lines are kind of wobbly, especially with the Namiki-Falcon with it´s super-flexy nib, but this looks half crazy! : )
And if you have any idea of what this is, don´t write about it in the comments, please. Thanks.
Approx. 7,5 x 9,5 cm, Namiki-Falcon with Platinum Carbon ink and watercolours on 600 g watercolour paper, probably Saunders-Waterford.
I really admire you for doing this project in December, when most people are so busy!
I don’t think of it as wobbly…..I think texture!
Do I remember right that your Namiki Falcon has “added flex”?
Thank You so much for this December Challenge series – has given me something to look forward to at the end of the day all month……and every single picture has been a real gift.
Thanks for being you……and sharing with us.
Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Thank you so much, Charlin! I really do appreciate all the encouragement I get on this blog, and your comment warms my heart. : )
Yes, I have a Namiki-Falcon with added flex. It´s a wonderful pen, awesome to draw with, but probably not for everyone. It is VERY flexible, and the lines have a tendency to get a bit “nervous” if I´m not calm and steady. Took a while to get used to.
Merry Christmas to you too! : )
I love that light through the window…yum.
I love the bit squiggly lines. Agree with Kate–the light in the door glass is yummy!
Thanks Cathy and Rita. : )
Are you going to reveal the whole painting sometime?
