Winter 2009 Sketches

Sketchbook completed between 21 december 2008 and 25 march 2009. All drawings were made in Bologna and Casalecchio. I used 3 Lamy fountain pens (extra fine, calligraphic 1 and 2 mm), 6 water brushes loaded with different watered fountain pen inks (except for the yellow that was aniline dye) and watercolors.

  6. Wow, your sketches are terrific! So loose, colorful and accurate. I like the consistency of having the text mostly on one side and the color drawing mostly on the other. And your handwriting is beautiful too (although sadly I can't read a word of it). Great work.
