I made some abstract paintings this year in which I built up small brush strokes to develop the final image. In today's drawing, I experimented with a similar style. I used the thick end of my calligraphy pens to make spots of color, with shades of mostly reds placed next to and on top of each other. I added some lighter shades and darker colors for interest and depth. Finally, I used fine-tipped pens for textured lines to complete the drawing.
