Tan Depth meets Celtic Knot
Continuing to explore the Tan Depth technique over tan tiles. The one on the left was made during a sleepless night, random lines with zigzag and Fescu. Here’s the before and after shading of the first one:
The second one was a super fun idea, Celtic-looking W2 knot combining with the Tan Depth technique. LOOOVE this effect, so much fun.

This arch is adapted from a Renaissance arch from the book “Suggestions of Design” by John Leighton and James Colling (1880) found on archive dot org. I also added some Found Flowers on a frame around the arch. Shaded and colored with Inktense and Pitt Artist Brush pens. If you goto my blog you'll see I wasn’t able to stay faithful to the original - I love the way my hand just takes over and adds whatever details it feels like.
