The image is done primarily using a black Tombow pen, which is water soluble, and helps provide a variety of tones and values. I used very minimal Micron pen strokes to complete the painting.The real disciplines in doing this artwork were to effectively use negative space and to establish real and accurate looking reflections in the flowing river.The completed painting fits into a gray mat and is yet to be framed. 11" x 14".

This looks wonderful - you got the reflections spot-on, and the values are perfect. I've never tried a Tombow pen, but now I want to!
wow!! really like his paint!! in fact i like very much works painted in black andwhte and yours is excellent!
Thanks all for your comments. The exercise with a Tombow pen is really lots of fun. Try it sometime. Because it is water soluble, it gives some nice wash effects. It's great for practicing use of negative spaces.
great wash effects! I've experimented with the Tombow pens and find them fun to deal with. It is a new technique to me so I have much room for improvement! I love your work :-)
Nice work! This is a great way to to value studies. I can't wait to get the pen.
