Inkantadora Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I actually looked up where that is. Nice drawing! Someday I must have one of your sketches! I'm not saying that London is always grey but filling a pen with Callifolio Gris De Payne when I'm heading into town for fun allows a sketch to be either bright or gloomy whilst using the same colour.(thanks again migo984) http://www.taskyprianou.com/fpn_week_10_gris_de_payne.jpgPen: Parker 45 F nib.Paper: Cass Art 300gsm WatercolourEntrance to 203 Eversholt Street, London(I don't live there though)Oh wow! This sketch is perfect! I went and looked it up too! I think I might also be interested in your sketches! Do you Instagram? Do you sell your prints? <font face= "Cursive"; font color="#8B00FF" ; font size= 3; font face="Arial"> In Instagram, I am also Inkantadora .</font><font face= "Cursive"; font color="#CC06FF" ; font size=3; font face="Arial"> I live and dream in saturated and sheening color.</font> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tas Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Oh wow! This sketch is perfect! I went and looked it up too! I think I might also be interested in your sketches! Do you Instagram? Do you sell your prints? That's very kind of you to say. Inkantadora, I don't Instagram I don't really get it and leave that to my children. Perhaps I should look into it I've never sold a sketch, I mostly throw them away (I know) or give them away - a few "special" ones stay in a pile on top of some books for me to reflect over every now and then.I was however fortunate enough to be commissioned by an FPN member (THANK YOU) to draw a selection of London scenes a couple of years ago and treated myself to one of my favourite pens, an Edison Husdon EF with the spoils - my sketching, like most things in my life, has improved a lot since then and I sometimes wonder how I would approach that commission were it given to me now . . .

amberleadavis Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Tas, you really should sell your sketches. They are amazing. Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas). Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison Don't know where to start? Look at the Inky Topics O'day. Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juulz Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Tas, you really should sell your sketches. They are amazing. One can't help but agree wholeheartedly with this sentiment! (I am also a huge fan of your faux DeFoe mix, with which a pen is always inked up!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkstainedruth Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 You caught the glitter so nicely in the picture! I now need this ink! Oh Stormy Grey is something special. I bought a full bottle of it without trying a sample first, based solely on an written exemplar I saw at DCSS the summer it came out.Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth "It's very nice, but frankly, when I signed that list for a P-51, what I had in mind was a fountain pen."

HalloweenHJB Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 A little late to this party, but what the heck, I'll play... I currently live in a city known for its conservatism and resistance to change. Only just lately, it has begun to join the 20th century. [Not a typo; the city and state pride themselves on their backwardness...] So the ink I've chosen is KWZ Iron-Gall Gold, on parchment paper, with an old-fashioned italic dip nib. No new-fangled modern conveniences like fountain pens. That would be too progressive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
