Hills

Two views of our local hills, sketched while out walking with a group, during the group's coffee and lunch breaks; two different pens and two different styles.

Jan 12 - 14

Jan 12 - Pen

Jan 13 - Shops

Jan 14 - Me

These three were all done with the pen featured in January 12th's sketch. It's the same pen - the Sailor Fude de Mannen, a Japanese calligraphy pen - mentioned in my "Little Extras" post. The shops are our village café and grocery store. The self portrait on the 14th was, in part, an excuse to try out some new ink - Senegal Blue, made by Rohrer and Klingner.

January 9 - 11

9 Jan - Party

10 Jan - Tree with bonus squirrel

January 4th

A quick ink sketch made in a A6 book while walking to the studio this morning. The downs rise above the village, creating a protective green wall of chalk, flint and grass.
