Sepia Test #3

Another test.  This one was done in watercolor as opposed to inkwash for the last two.  For the inked lines this time around I mixed a combination of brown and black inks to get the right level of dark brown I wanted.  The watercolors give the benefit of being more forgiving than inkwash, which tends to dry faster and is more permanent.  The watercolor allows me a longer period of wait time if I decide I want to blend it some more after letting it dry.  I like the look of the inkwash better, though.  The search for the right method continues!

Bearded Sepia Tests

Some sepia tone tests using brown ink.  I think I need to find darker ink for the lines.  I’ll try out gouache and watercolor next to see if I like them better.  I can’t get as much of a range of value with this ink as I’d like.
