#Birdtober day 29: Artist's choice. There seems to be an irruption of red-breasted nuthatches here in Northern California this fall... they come in to drink water from our ant trap above the hummingbird feeder. #penandwash #penandwatercolor #fountainpen #drawbirds #sketchbirds

#birdtober day 28: Galah. #penandwash #penandwashdrawing #penandwatercolor #fountainpen

And another. Elegant Writer, water, and sleepy cat. #CatsOfMastodon #penandink #penandwash

Trying out this Elegant Writer (calligraphy marker) with water wash. Winston, looking out the window at hummingbirds. The ink separates to green and pink with the application of water.

A new concertina book of Vicar Lane. A few weeks work on and off. Two very cold trips into Leeds to start the pen sketch, and lots of work at home finishing it off. From 4 different viewpoints all on a single horizon I drew across the pages.

Started this early this week when it was a bit warmer. The lovely arcade on Parliament Street, Harrogate. Finished later and added colour at home. It is a lovely bit of Victorian gothic that I have never really looked at before.

The door is at an old manor house site in Cornwall visited a couple months ago, called Lanhydrock
It's a fabulous place, and it was a glorious day.
Pen work with a Platinum Preppy pen, with Carbon ink.
Pen from @pure_pens bought two, Fine & Medium, this is the fine. On offer at less than £4 each!

Newman Catholic Center, Davis, California.

This building has a lot of interesting brickwork, but I haven't found an easy way to render it in a sketch.

One of the many large houses on College Park just north of the university campus. This neighborhood has the tallest street trees in Davis, Ca.

#GrainCulture yesterday with my sketching buddy, Isabel.
