VSW: Notre Dame, 2

Posted on May 6, 2019 by dkatiepowellart

I have NO time, and yet want to keep my hand in the game.
I am really trying to do fast sketches… no pencil on this one
I used a Lamy Al-Star with Robert Oster Graphite ink.


I dropped in color using various pens listed below, and then touched the edges with the waterbrush.  In a few cases I uses a waterbrush filled with dilutes Noodler’s Lex Grey.

BTW I swear by Pentel Aquash waterbrushes, buy them in packs from Amazon,
because the points and the threads last a long time.

I started a Facebook group page (you must join to view) to allow everyone to share their virtual sketches, and also where we will, from time to time, take virtual sketch walks together.  Come join us On Facebook if you are inclined!
If you want to know more about what a virtual sketchwalk is review my first post.
There are a few more notes/pointers on our first walk through Laguna Beach, California.

I also created an accompanying Flickr group!
