Quesadillas

Here's a little sketch I worked on before dinner the other night. It's just a quick little sketch in my pocket Moleskine watercolor journal done with my new Lamy Safari fountain pen that I filled with Noodler's Lexington Grey ink. I love the pen and ink combo. The ink dried really quick, I was surprised because when I used the Bulletproof Black in this book and then laid down watercolors they smeared after I thought they were dry.  

Different pen, different ink. I did some fast and loose watercolor washes, laying in more color to the damp areas. I'm really happy with the results. I even took a shot of my painting in progress, enjoy!

 

Virtual tour de France

We found out about the virtual paintout just this past month. Since we can't afford to travel wherever we would like, we have been traveling via Google maps. It is awesome!

I am in the middle of rereading Chocolat by Joanne Harris, and wanted to find Lansquenet, which doesn't precisely exist. So I clicked randomly and found this quaint church that said "draw me", so I did.

I wanted to test out my new Noodler's Creaper flex nib pen. I'm still on the fence, it has this weird smell, and it's my first fountain pen, so there is a slight learning curve. I promise that the church isn't crooked in real life.

This is just a sketch with some light watercolor washes put down once i, mistakenly, thought the ink was dry in my small Moleskine watercolor pocketbook.
