Of blacks and whites

This is a close up of a part of my new watercolour drawing.
I've been trying shades of monochrome and a bit of dry brushing techniques and I'm kind of pleased how it came out.
The full picture which I will shortly put up here does a shoddy job of showing something up close.

This photograph might look familiar and it is because I'd clicked it and used it as a sort of still life here.
I'll be doing some more still life watercolours, a lot of banal things like glasses and fruits and what not, and mostly because I want to get a sense of shading from them, only because they're so different from what you tend to use from imagination.
Just one colour can have a hundred different shades and I'm totally living for still life and cityscapes right now.
