Mountain Lines

PEN & INK BOTANICAL DRAWING

The entire drawing was done with Copic Miltiliners, XP #0.05 and the lettering with a #3, 5 and 8. The drawing is mostly a line drawing with little hatching in the old-style of botanical etchings. Background shading with a #6B pencil smoothed and blended with a tortillion.

HAIRY BITTERCRESS

Cardamine hirsuta

While out hunting for the early blooming Harbinger-of-Spring, I came across this similar plant;  Hairy Bittercress, quite indistinct with an unpleasant name but still very interesting.
