A couple of sketches from my Monday Morning Sketch Group meeting. The sketches are all from 20 minute poses. The first sketch was done with a Kaweco Sport with a blue cartridge on cream paper, the other two were done on gray toned paper with a Sheaffer Balance and Robert Oster Chocolate ink.

Drew this as a card for my MIL's 60th birthday (carnations are here favorite!). She loved it!

Art seems to me to be above all a state of soul.

Wow, your work is beautiful! And I am a big fan of your handwriting. Wish I had such skill with a flex pen.

Many thanks!
Ability is acquired. 2 months of exercise for 5-10 minutes a day will make your handwriting very neat (with fine pen of course:)).

Sorry guys, currently I’m sketching so much, I can’t keep up with the uploads.

So I better get a fresh start.

Sometimes I get asked what I usually haul around for sketching.

 

I recently filled my third sketchbook this year and I thought it would be a nice idea to sketch what I use most of the time on the last two pages of it.

How meta!.

Also I made it a one-liner.

Here you have it:

My Manhattan Portage from Massdrop with.

1. Pentel Aquash in large.

2. uni kuru toga 0.5 mechanical pencil with 2B leads.

3. Lamy AL-Star (EF) with platinum rose red pigment ink.

4. Signo uni-ball broad white gel pen.

5. Lamy AL-Star (EF) with Sailor kiwa guro pigment ink.

6. Mono eraser.

7. prima Marketing tropicals water color plus 8 additional colors from different brands. White gouache for adding a bit more oumph from time to time.

8. lately a Kaweco AL-Sport raw in fine with kiwa guro.

9. dab paper.

10. at least one sketchbook.

Sometimes I throw a second pen case in the mix with a few more pens and that’s about it.

Go sketching, have fun.

 

Also I made two new videos

PARKER QUINK INK BLACK

 

This is for a show later this month featuring a wide range of artists and mediums all attempting to interpret the word 'SKY'. I've used Parker Quink ink, fully utilising its' chromatography. Highlights created with bleach. I used a Bockingford rough watercolour paper and particularly like the textural contrast between sea and sky. Quink isn't regarded as a great black for handwriting but it certainly has a great tonal and colour range for painting. The show is at the Halpern Gallery, Chatham, starting on 17th May 2018 until 23rd May. If you want to attend the private view on the 17th, 6-8pm, please get in touch and I can put on the guest list. This measures 650mm x 350mm and is A1 framed with double white mounts and a white wood frame. It's for sale too!
