Droste - Chocolate letter

A couple of months ago I wrote a little bit about ‘Chocolate Letters’. Well, here is a sketch of a chocolate letter that I still have to eat (before Nor steals it). This one (the letter E) is made of 135 g pure/bittersweet chocolate from Droste. Droste, is a famous chocolate factory in Holland that produces chocolate letters (seasonal/end of year), chocolate bars, filled chocolate, and cacao powder.

Although the sketch above shows my collection of the PITT pens from Faber-Castell that I used for the train sketch (see previous post below), it is actually done by using dip pen + ink (bordeaux) + watercolor.

2. I always enjoy my visits here.
   I also had a thougth and please tell me to but out if it’s not useful. I wondered if sitting in front of a full spectrum light for an hour a day might help you “doom” period. You live so far north that maybe you are affected by the lack of light.

3. Evy, I always love seeing your work! You choose such wonderful subject matter and handle it so well. Chocolate letters sound like fun! I’ve never seen them here in the US.

4. Thanks everyone!
   Lindsay, what you said is certainly a possibility. It does feel like that when the weather is just dreary grey here.
