Falls of the Ohio work-in-progress

I've been working on a new drawing; it's a 10 x 15 inch view of the Falls of the Ohio from the Falls of the Ohio State Park observation deck.  I've sketched it in with graphite, and yesterday I started using ink.

 

It took me a while to decide whether to use my black ink Pigma Micron pens, or to use my walnut ink with dip pens and brushes.  Finally I decided on the walnut ink.  It's more cumbersome, and the risk of a drawing-ruining accident is higher, but I think I'll be happier with the look.

 

Photos to follow.
