I’m still enjoying my new mineral paper sketchbook, mostly choosing ink and pencils this past week.

I used ink with some sprinkles of salt to create this moody background, and then I used Faber-Castell Pitt matt graphite pencils for the Junco and branches. I never get tired of drawing a little bird in a tree.

More ink for this cup plant leaf.

And colored pencil for these Goldfinches with a few ink dried plants.
