Click on any of the thumbnails for a closer look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this drawing I worked from life, using an oak leaf I had found during a walk. I lit the leaf low from the side, so that I could study its veins. I first drew out the main shape and veins in pencil, and added several layers of pale wash to give the form of the leaf. Then I focused on the details in slightly darker ink wash using a magnifier on the subject, and drawing through my magnifier light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ink is my usual Winsor &amp; Newton Liquid Indian Ink, diluted with distilled water&nbsp;in a palette. I began with a size 6 watercolour brush for the paler washes, and added the details with a size 00. The size of the drawing is approx. 21 x 15cm, and the paper is Strathmore Bristol Board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ink drawing on drawing board, showing materials used<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/www.christinefarmer.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/oak_leaf_drawing_process_christinefarmer.com_.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[4037]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"534\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.christinefarmer.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/oak_leaf_drawing_process_christinefarmer.com_.jpg\" alt=\"Oak leaf, and drawing, with drawing materials on table\" data-id=\"5467\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.christinefarmer.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/oak_leaf_drawing_process_christinefarmer.com_.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.christinefarmer.com\/home\/oak_leaf_drawing_process_christinefarmer-com-3\/\" class=\"wp-image-5467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.christinefarmer.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/oak_leaf_drawing_process_christinefarmer.com_.jpg 534w, https:\/\/www.christinefarmer.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/oak_leaf_drawing_process_christinefarmer.com_-300x228.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 534px) 100vw, 534px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/www.christinefarmer.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/oak_leaf_drawing_process_2_christinefarmer.com_.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[4037]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"473\" height=\"409\" src=\"https:\/\/www.christinefarmer.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/oak_leaf_drawing_process_2_christinefarmer.com_.jpg\" alt=\"Drawing table with work in progress of a brush and ink drawing of an oak leaf\" data-id=\"5466\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.christinefarmer.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/oak_leaf_drawing_process_2_christinefarmer.com_.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.christinefarmer.com\/home\/oak_leaf_drawing_process_2_christinefarmer-com-2\/\" class=\"wp-image-5466\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.christinefarmer.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/oak_leaf_drawing_process_2_christinefarmer.com_.jpg 473w, https:\/\/www.christinefarmer.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/oak_leaf_drawing_process_2_christinefarmer.com_-300x259.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 473px) 100vw, 473px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/www.christinefarmer.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/oak_leaf_detail_christinefarmer.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[4037]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"507\" height=\"455\" src=\"https:\/\/www.christinefarmer.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/oak_leaf_detail_christinefarmer.jpg\" alt=\"Detail of a brush and ink drawing of an oak leaf\" data-id=\"5465\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.christinefarmer.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/oak_leaf_detail_christinefarmer.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.christinefarmer.com\/home\/oak_leaf_detail_christinefarmer\/\" class=\"wp-image-5465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.christinefarmer.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/oak_leaf_detail_christinefarmer.jpg 507w, https:\/\/www.christinefarmer.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/oak_leaf_detail_christinefarmer-300x269.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 507px) 100vw, 507px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Above:<\/strong> Here are a few photographs of the drawing on me drawing board.
