Apologies to poor Hank. Last week he did delete the salutation Dear, and thought he had written Wifey, which has always been ok with me.  He never did leave out LOVE, I just thought he did even though it was right there on screen. Two old codgers!  Someone suggested maybe he was distracted by the maids.  Not sure how he took that comment.  LOL!
ANYWAY-

Week 6 finds our bookseller in Belgium.

The above, almost not there drawing, was a #2 pencil drawing based on a lovely miniature of  the scribe Jean Mielot, 2nd half of the 15th century. He did illuminated manuscripts, amongst other things. It is at the Brussels Royal Library.

After using watercolor (a kid's set from the dollar store) I still needed color, so I used markers again, but this time BIC. I uploaded this as yet unfinished picture and used a graphic program to continue working.

I deleted the little bench in the original drawing, manipulated the image to fix the window, and called it complete, even though I see a touch not colored in near the edge of the right wall.
Watercolors? Guess I need something more than the dollar set, and/or more patience. Markers are not blendable and although the Bic set had more than the Sharpies set I have, neither were adequate.

This is the final ADDRESS side to the postcard. OH, my! Color again did me in. The TIFF file I saved this in came out in horrible color and resolution, so I put it into graphic program and resaved it as a .jpg file. Much better, although I just cut and pasted the text sections with the old colors and one never knows what it looks like on someone else's screen.
TRANSLATION OF HANK'S MESSAGE:
Dear Wife,
Belgium is nice, quaint. Bought Sir Haig's WWI battle maps in original box. 100th anniv. is coming up. Lots to celebrate here. Hope all is well at home. "wish you were here." Love, Hubby Hank

NEXT week maybe I will try some of the watercolor pencils I dug upin my stash of art supplies from decades ago. Some have never been used, so we shall see what, if any, improvements they can make with the next postcard.
