Last night, we took our daughter and two friends to dinner in Boston at Woody's Grille & Tap. We love this nice little spot, good selection of beers, great pizza and burgers. It was so nice to listen to the smart, sassy, engaged conversation of these three young women who care about each other and the world. Meanwhile, I made some new "coaster art". I draw on the coaster at the table, and add watercolor later, from how I remember the scene. We had a lovely night..
This is my five hundred fifty-second daily drawing. Thank you for your interest, and for following my daily drawing adventures.
I enjoy Woody's Grill & Tap in Boston, nice bar with great food just off the Northeastern University campus. We ate at the bar recently where I enjoyed watching the choreography of the pizza maker and bartender as they navigate a narrow space with grace and speed. I rendered this scene using a wax resist process method and ink washes. It is interesting to think about the arrangement of values and to work up the drawing from light to dark. I laid in the lightest areas with white crayon, washed the entire surface with ink. When dry, I used crayon on the next lightest areas, then washed again. I did this four times, so the darkest areas have four layers of ink wash. The images below show the intermediate washes.
This is my four hundred ninety-first daily drawing. As always, thank you for looking, and you know I love your comments.
