Alan - lovely sketch - I read your recent article in TA - what pens/brushes did you use for this? Some more info would be very educational. Thanks.

Lovely work Alan, can see why the place draws you in.

Thanks guys, much appreciated… Andrew, I’ve used a No.0 ProArte rigger brush with Indian ink, as well as a Pilot 0.3 nib. I’m currently testing out the range of eco-papers from Hahnemuhle for a two- part test report for The Artist, no publication date as yet!

I hope you were wrapped up whilst out Al, it’s getting cold out to draw and paint, it is for me! Terrific sketch, I’m envious of your drawing abilities.
