Sketch book detail of a grove study. Experiments with higgins sepia ink with fountain black ink as well. Dip pen with tinted washes on Ingres paper (Fabriano Classic Artist's Journal). I was taking a look at some of Ruben's pen and ink and wash studies, sometimes with chalk, beyond mind blowing!

Incredible how Rubens' studies are... I'm intending to by a book just on oil studies... I'm not sure if they are just oils... but anyway, they are Rubens'

Great stuff, I'm really your fan.

Cheers

Rubens was a complete master.
his drawings are great and the oil sketches are even better.

I was looking at a them at the MFA in Boston a few weeks ago and his command of drawing with a brush scary.

Greta drawing by the way.

Rembrandt's ink drawings are also something else.

Loving these- ruebens always seems to inspire such warmth and loosness. I was intriguied about a support you used on your second to last post- what is the clay based primed panel you used? I enjoy painting on plaster, does it have a similar feel?
