I have a French art book that is filled with pages of this style and it so alive and fresh. Thanks for sharing your tools. Always helpful.

I almost always add watercolor, because my drawings seem incomplete without it, probably because I don't do any shading or differentiating of values with the pen. I leave that to the watercolor washes.Leslie Fehlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18331638868684201701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1764822475195816427.post-16757160810198631932013-09-29T19:31:13.597-05:002013-09-29T19:31:13.597-05:00Jill, I'd check with the Missouri Historical S...Jill, I'd check with the Missouri Historical Society in St. Louis, they might know!Kate (Cathy Johnson)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03296053923338246127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1764822475195816427.post-75259486783914585712013-09-29T18:51:13.155-05:002013-09-29T18:51:13.155-05:00My maiden name is Bennett.

There were a lot of enterprises named after the Bennetts since they were so numerous. Wonder if Bennett Springs has anything to do with them. Because of all the aunts and uncles we spent many wonderful hours at Lake Taneycomo. Thanks for bringing back those memories.
