Sketching in Pen and Ink with Mixed Mediums and Humour

1/16/2021

The empty swing. My pen and wash artwork to show the effect of Covid-19 on Australian playgrounds for most of this year. I'm happy that most stayed away from public gatherings and thus helped control the spread of the pandemic here. Do what's needed in your area to Stay Safe.
Happy Creativity Everyone. My 
art, art prints and art gifts are available here, and the art tutorials here.

Demonstration tutorial video showing the creation of three sharable memes in pen and ink with mixed mediums of watercolour and soft pastels while demonstrating with DE ATRAMENTIS Document Ink. There are no ugly ducklings, just advertisers trying to sell you a yarn that if you buy their product it will make you something else they try to convince you is better. Ducks don't have to be swans to be beautiful. You are beautiful as you are. DE ATRAMENTIS Document Ink - Urban Sienna - Urban Grey - Brown [Social Media MEME creation demo]

I use my pens a lot, the two Jinhaos I purchased are bin dumps for me.
I've decided I only want pens with a top quality nib with good ink flow, plus a built in ink storage system, matched with a wonderful balance in the hand to reduce repetitive use s
train.
If I only used a pen to sign my name, then the Jinhaos would suit me fine.
I agree, don't buy a pen for the name. If Jinhaos works for you, use it with pride. Nice looking pen.
I also won't pay more for a colour or trim. I'm after a functional professional tool, not an ornament, that's where Jinhaos lets me down.


It was my disappointment with the two Jinhaos pens I bought on Facebook that brought me here with a $200. (ha ha) budget to learn what I was doing wrong and to buy one good fountain pen.

I learned from this group I was doing everything wrong, and to heck with the budget. I can thank Jinhaos for leading me to my new studio equipment. No regrets at the cost of my fountain pen studio in a bag set up cost. I'm putting it to good use.

Aussie Humour - Boots Gully

Picture
How could you not paint Boots Gully in the Hamlet of BASALT with humour?
You tae a diversion off the main road in the Daylesford - Hepburn Springs region to find Boot's Gully in the small hamlet of BASALT, no doubt named for the basalt quarry.

There are no commercial facilities there, just this amazing piece of Australian rural history. 

Painting Boot's Gully

Picture
I plan to exaggerate the boot colours.
I'd love to see the two tall narrow paintings hing either side of the larger one. but of course I'm not getting anything framed at the moment. I cannot get to a framer, and like you probably. I cannon justify the price of a frame, I spend all my money on the art supplies and art studio equipment.

I'm happy with how the works are progressing.
