Since I am enjoying the newly discovered water soluble graphite medium, I decided to create a
few more landscapes with forests, mountains etc and in every small little study work, I tried out
something different. Some experiments work and some don't and I make it a point to jot down
my learning experience underneath in the little space so that when I am browsing through it in
future I will know about MY TRIALS and THINGS THAT I MUST AVOID DOING. It helps.
For instance, I overdid the layers in one of the study works in my regular sketch book, and was
not too happy with the results. So I mentioned "Overworked" alongside.
Working with graphite sticks has made me realise that the more simple I keep it, the better it looks and I need to STOP working on my art at a particular time. In the final layer, in some of the sketches
I have used a normal 6B graphite pencil to increase the value by creating darker strokes.

which I have sharpened at the tip.

It is fun to work with water soluble graphite BUT I am definitely missing using a sharp pencil
like tip. Hence when I visit ART LOUNGE next week to do my art stationery shopping, I am
definitely going to buy some good brand of water soluble graphite pencil. I have already
mentioned about the art sale that is on presently at ART LOUNGE which is situated close to
Churchgate station.
