While not exactly completely pen and ink, the lettering was done with a dip pen and india ink. Coloring is using aquarello pencils and then washed. My first sketch of 2014. :-)

I finished demo 9 with the same barn on the hill as demo 8 shown in winter this time.

Just touching base. It's been a while since I posted here on FPN with any regularity but I have just finished catching up on this thread. LOVE the work I've seen here and the discussion of technique, materials, and so on. It's been a real inspiration.

 

I pulled my copy of Guptill's Rendering in Pen and Ink off the shelf and I just put my kit togetherI have a leather-wrap sketchbook with two loops for pens. In it I put my Rotring 700 "set": the 0.7mm pencil and my trusty F transplant (I used my Rotring 700 for such a long time that it became irreparably dented and the clip was bent beyond hope of repair, I bought a NOS Rotring 700 and transplanted the nib from the 700 I've been using since 1997 into the new flawless one!)

 

No sketch to show yet. I just wanted to say hello and tell you all how great it has been catching up.

Who are the pen shops in your neighborhood? Find out or tell us where they are, at http://penshops.info/

If you think everything is going well... you obviously have no idea what is really going on!

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
