Moonlit Winter Farm

Continuing to follow lessons by Peter Sheeler, this one is a Moonlit Winter Farm scene.

It is an important one because I am continuing to work with the Platinum Carbon Ink I received a couple of days ago.
My first test was an absolute disaster, a quick sketch of Winter sleeping on the couch and a quick wash.
The wash reactivated the ink that was supposed to be waterproof!
I wasn't happy

Yesterday I tried it on a different paper and it worked!
Today I tried it on two more papers and it worked!

It looks like it didn't like the original paper for some reason.

Anyway I am happy with this one except for the crop ..
