the Art of Catalin Bridinel

Small watercolour sketch based on a photo I took inside the Rasnov Fortress. Done with Cotman watercolours and Pentel Brush Pen on Arches torchon (rough) 300 gram paper.
A tad smaller than ISO A4.

Another one from the sketchbook. There’s at least a foot of snow out so this is obviously not drawn from life. I found a couple of reference images of the Volkswagen Type 2 and just made up the rest of the scene.

Used the Carbon Platinum pen for ink and some Koh-I-Noor watercolour pencils for a little touch of color.

I seems that lately I only have time for quick sketches. The ink is done with the Pentel brush pen. The first time I used my new Derwent coloursoft pencils.

This sketch started as a shadow study for a painting I’m planning but then I couldn’t resist adding some color. The only thing I regret is that I didn’t scan it at the shadow stage. I really should start scanning these sketches at various stages.
Inspired by a photo i took from the tower of the Evangelical Church in Sibiu.

New sketchbook, new scanner… new year. Made with a Pentel brush pen and colored with Koh-I-Noor watercolour pencils.
