The wrong pen

Don't you hate it when you sit down to draw and don't have your favourite pen! I was at soccer practise with Jack, one hour of him running around and me drawing. Rummaged through my bag and could only find a chunky artline. Oh well, at least I had a pen!
The above flowes are based on this beautiful illustration from 'Art Nouveau Ornament' from my local library.

I honestly prefer your work in the chunky line!

But I also know just how frustrating it is not to have the right pen.

Art Nouveau books are great for inspiration!
