VSW: Last of Bellingham

Bellingham city sketched
with a Sailor Fude De Mannen Calligraphy Navy Blue Angle 40 Degrees pen with
Robert Oster Muddy Water ink
. I can’t believe I like
the 55-degree fude better!
I had a hard time feeling the edges of this 40-degree pen.
I sketched with ink, no guidelines… it shows…
but mostly I had trouble getting the hang of
how to hold the pen so
the flat hit the paper.
Hard not to be critical when
I struggled so much!

Even when you have done things before, they may not come out to your liking…
Super5 Frankfurt and Noodler’s Lexington Grey Ink ink in Pentel Aquash waterbrushes,
But this sky was no where near this stormy!
