Sketching obsessed.

Early January 2026

The first days of January. Still working with inks, especially those that explode so beautifully when dropped into water, like Noodler’s Rome Burning. This is an exercise from Nick Stewart’s Udemy course on Fountain Pen Ink.

Lupine and Laughter continues each Friday and I had more inks to test.

The new live round of the watercolor course started, and I did some of exercises in my S&B Alpha sketchbook. I also did the exercises on a handmade watercolor paper that is turning out very interesting to work with.

I am always fascinated by mixing greys and how varied they can be with different colors.
