Today is Mother's Day and my husband and son gave me a beautiful single peach colored rose. The rose in this drawing is an old dried out rose. I have a bunch of them and I am not sure where or when I got them. I have kept them for a long time and love drawing them. I use a steel nib dip pen and sepia colored ink.. This drawing was done on paper prepared with watercolor washes. After I drew my rose and the foliage, I went back in and added watercolor washes. I love drawing with pen and ink.
