How I Sketch Sailboats with Pen and Watercolor On Location [Real-time]

[@davidhersey2497]

Love your sketches mate, and really nice to see urban sketching done on location and not sitting at a desk with photo reference 😊

Thank you Stephen - I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I hope to keep making them so comments like yours are very encouraging.

Very nice airy sketch. Captain Tom is my sketchy hero as well. As for waterproof inks for fountain pens I can recommend Platinum Carbon Black ink or deAtramentis Document inks. Both uses Tom as well, I like more the first one.

Thanks - yes I love his style so much! I just picked up a fude pen and the platinum carbon black ink.

I think you’ll end up with flexi nib like the Zebra G anyway 😁

32:40 Is it the case that reality, as it were, appears differently than in a photo? Maybe the light was different and/or changing? I wonder... In any case, the sketch and washes--quite lovely. Thank you for taking us along on this journey 😊 Wishing you great and lasting health🌺

Yes, the light would definitely have changed from when I took the photo and the camera lens is different than the lens of a human eye. Thank you surrected for the comment and nice wishes.

Hey~ from a guy who as been fighting the wind (and his brush, and his palette....)
while painting, grab some binder clips for the sketchbook! it helps so much! and I like the splatter! I do the same!!

[@AGsBlog_]

thanks! it’s great tip - I somehow always forget my clips on the windy days
