I’ve redrawn this border from my Dalesman nature diary featuring the walk around the lake at Newmillerdam Country Park, near Wakefield. In the first version, I thought that the pen and ink was competing too much with the text. To soften it I’ve gone for:
- soft B pencil instead of black ink
- textured watercolour paper instead of smooth cartridge
- loose brushwork, all with a no. 10 sable round, instead of trying to define what textures are
