Black and White Exercises for Brush and Pen
The examples on this and the following pages (Figs. 6 and 7) are simple exercises in pen and ink and brush combined.
The circles are used to give a sort of frame to the little designs and to add a sense of regularity in the matter of shape.
Make the circles first in pen and ink, whether the outlines which they enclose are made with pencil guide lines or not.
A and B should be made with pen and ink without the aid of pencil outlines.
In C, make the horizon line in pencil before using pen or brush.
In D, indicate the mass of the foliage before using pen or brush.
E should have penciled outline for all details and pen-and-ink outlines should be made for the areas which are to be completed with the brush.
