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.

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