This is a lane in Wellow, Nottinghamshire. Julia and I had just had a lovely meal at the Old Red Lion pub, which I highly recommend, and were taking an easy stroll back to our AirBnB. Winsor and Newton Black Indian ink, Winsor and Newton watercolours
I drew this two weeks ago, when I needed something to cheer myself up. I’ve always considered myself European and have enjoyed being part of a wider community. This is a light shining inside the old French farmhouse where I’ve enjoyed many holidays. Winsor and Newton Black Indian ink, Platinum Carbon Ink, Derwent Inktense watercolour […]
I bought some Derwent Inktense watercolour pencils a little while ago and tried them out properly for the first time with this picture. They really pop. I used my Platinum Carbon Pen (with Carbon Ink) for the lines and Winsor and Newton Black Indian ink watered down for the wash.
After literally months of trying I was finally able to get hold of a Nock Co Sinclair pen case. (I’ll review it in a few weeks but, spoiler: it’s pretty much perfect.) And what better place to try it out than by the beach on a rare sunny day?
Here’s a quick little sketch of windsurfers and kitesurfers out on a bumpy sea, one rainy day in Weymouth.
