We were all shocked and saddened to hear yesterday of the death of the wonderful artist, regular contributor to The Artist and our editorial consultant Jason Bowyer NEAC, RP, PS. He will be greatly missed. As a tribute to him I will be adding his brilliant article on making and using a reed pen to the techniques and tips page of POL in the next few days. I am sure many of you will have enjoyed his articles and beautiful artworks. A sad loss indeed.

Well that is sad news indeed. I've always enjoyed reading his interesting articles and I particularly remember the reed pen one.
After reading how to make these reed pens and seeing his illustrations with it, I just had to give it a go. Courtesy of the forum I was able to locate some dry reeds from Fiona. I subsequently wrote a letter to the LP about my own experience making and drawing with them, which the editor kindly published. I still have lots of fun using them, and I'm sure that others will do also if perhaps they didn't see his article.
A sad loss to the art world.
