Pepper Grinder series--#1


I enjoyed doing the Santa series, so I'll start the new year with pepper grinders, a good way to record the many we have, for some reason.

Pen and w/c on M. sketchpaper. This time I remembered to put soap in the water for the paint.

It makes the paper absorb super fast--maybe too much Joy (the detergent kind).

LOL, I just looked at this and realized it's a pepper grinder--duh! Switching the series name!
