My father, Ilgvars Steins has complete mastery over pen and ink techniques as shown above in an image titled ‘Tree Hugger’ (12.5″ x 14″)
He also has a pretty wild imagination. There’s so much to choose from but I picked this recent one (below) titled ‘Listening Trumpet’ (12.5″ x 14″). He often combines gouache, water colour and pen & ink on beautifully textured watercolour paper.
He’s going to be moving to Dawson in the spring so it’ll be exciting to see what he comes up with while in the Yukon.
