Ok, I'm still in the learning phase of sumi-e , so this painting is a bit loose. I'm having trouble controlling the brush, but I guess it has sort of given the piece a softer look.
I am used to doing more detailed work, and I was tempted to add detail in with pen and ink..but I held back, and decided to let the work stand. This was actually a combination of sumi ink, watercolor and gouache on mat board.
