Original Pen & Ink Drawing by Anita Inverarity

From an ugly duckling to a beautiful Swan

One of my first pen and ink drawings in this
style. Done around 20 years ago and with a dip pen (nib) and Indian Ink. I have done this piece about 5 times for exhibitions over the years (different sizes and slightly different details). The idea was loosly based on the Hans Christian Andersen classic “The Ugly Duckling”.

Original NFS but I have commissioned variations of this design on request and a brand new brass etching will be coming soon (2012)

    The original is pretty beat up, but it was my first go at “my style” so to speak, so I hang onto it xx
