[By Marcia Milner-Brage, Cedar Falls, Iowa, USA]
Freedom is limiting myself to a fistful of drawing implements in my pocket-size Moleskin. No color! It’s a gratifying challenge to bring a place into being with just line and light to dark value. These are all recent sketches done within walking distance of my house in Cedar Falls, Iowa.
All of these were drawn with a 5B pencil, a Bic stick eraser, and a water brush to apply washes of water soluble graphite. I tried something new in the bottom sketch and added white acrylic ink loaded into a water brush.
