“Weathered Wood ~ Old Paint” is the third topic in the Wood Grain Patterns chapter of  Creating Textures in Pen & Ink with Watercolor by Claudia Nice. 

You probably imagine the world is full of slowly decaying painted wood. I did, until I started looking for some to paint - then it all disappeared. I struggled until Elaine, Mum, Doris and I dropped into The Canteen for lunch. There were some great examples in their courtyard, but finding a subject was only the first challenge. This was tricky. It gave me a lot to think about.
