10,000 blades of grass
….or at least that’s how it seems. Three and a half hours in, and all I’ve done is pasture. That is about how long I can work before my eyes stop focusing on all of the little ink lines. I do like it so far, though. I plan to add some yellow and white wild flowers in the foreground to break up all of the green. Fortunately, the barn is classic red and the house is white. This is definitely going to be a test of my positive/negative space skills.
More grass and then the trees are next on the agenda. Last will be the house as the pictures show 2 different facades – one with a screened porch and door and the other with a simple railing only so I need to talk to the client and find out which is correct.
(I have actually tried to estimate the number of grass strokes made and came up with almost 6,000!)

Sometimes I wonder how many pen strokes I leave in the paper.

I was just curious as so much of the picture is the grass. It sure seemed like a lot. I just counted ann inch, squared it, and estimated the area of grass. Close enough and it turned out to be a lot!

We could just get a nickel for every stroke of the pen we’d be rich!
