Pagoda in Katharine's local park



I have not even looked for Katherine’s signature on her postcard. The beautiful drawing of a park in her neighborhood with a pagoda could only have been drawn by her. It is her unique artistc style.

I used a magnifying glass to see what Katherine has used first. The red felt pen. Right? The red lines give the drawing a warm expression as in the postcards that we all cherish.

Even the colors of the stamps are matching those in her drawing!

Thank you Katherine so much for the beautiful card.

Katherine has made that intense acid green her own. Beautiful.

This is exquisite -- as is the close-up of the pagoda under construction in the November 21 Travels with a Sketchbook post Catherine refers to on the card.

I also loved the pagoda under construction sketch Charlene - and this composition works beautifully too.

Whoops - forgot to reply to this!

Thanks for all the lovely comments

Albrecht - my favourite pen is a very fine Pilot G-TEC-C4 gel ink rollerball with brown ink. It's not waterproof but that doesn't matter because I use coloured pencils over it.
