Dip Pen Exercises









Fun to play with but not as convenient as a fine line pen. More expressive lines. Don't know if I would try it in a coffee shop etc, probably spill the ink bottle.

New toy






I have admired some very expressive drawings done with a dip pen and nib so, while there is some muss and fuss, I am giving it a try.

Canada Geese, Port Moody BC



Canada geese are everywhere here and one afternoon I sat in the park in Port Moody and drew them. I did this from one of the drawings, trying out a "stippling" type of drawing I saw in a drawing book.

St. Pauls from the MIllenium Bridge, London



I saw this in May on our trip to the UK. Drew it from a photo, so not strictly according to the Urban Sketch rules of actually drawing on site. Couldn't resist doing the drawing.
