Rotring Art Pen with black ink and a waterbrush wash, and Diamine Star Bright Glacier with the Teranishi dip glass nib.
Spiders are in full swing here, half grown Orb Weavers are spinning their webs everywhere as insects ramp up as does the heat, so I had good hopes of finding something interesting in the garden. This little scene caught my eye. We had rain overnight, and while the spider was no doubt sheltering somewhere, the web was mostly intact and had caught a few rain drops, which at first glance seemed to just be hanging in the air.
I was struck by the brightness of the web and dew in the sunlight, and the relative dullness of the foliage and fence against it, so used it as a good reason to break out one of the Diamine Star Bright inks. It sure does shine.
