I actually looked up where that is.

Nice drawing! Someday I must have one of your sketches!

 

Thank you !

That day may come sooner than you think - PM sent.

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)

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 . . .

Tas, you really should sell your sketches. They are amazing.

Thank you for sending over the CRVs and for all your work in scanning them so accurately.

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!)

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.

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!

Stunning ink and brilliant story.
