Hazelnuts Piedmont Italy (2022)

Piedmont in Italy’s northwest produces Barolo wine, rose veal (think of the famous Vitello Tonnato) and hazelnuts (Nutella).
We toured, ate, drank and sketched in 2018. I was surprised to see that hazelnuts were grown on quite small shrubs to aid
harvesting. I used a variety of steel nib dip pens, reed pens a fountain pen and a sable brush to
make this ink and wash on A3 paper.
