a musical angel

Our friend Kim invited us out to Abuelo’s, her favorite Mexican restaurant in College Station. We had never eaten there before, though we’ve often driven past it.

As soon as I saw this musical angel standing in front of the entrance, I wanted to draw it — but being with two non-sketchers, all I did was snap a quick photo.

Then I felt playing with water-soluble inks after seeing a recent Instagram post by Ros Jenke. She drew a bird using an Elegant Writer calligraphy pen that bleeds in unusual ways when water is applied.

I just got one and will soon be playing with it . . . But this statue had an ecru tone so for this one I used J. Herbin’s Lie de The ink.
