baca spring, 10 3/4x17” 5/7/26 watercolor & colored pencil on bristol paper
3PM: today i tried something new; i made a watercolor/colored pencil painting titled baca spring on bristol paper, which is meant to be used more for drawing, with it’s very smooth textureless surface. i loved working on it! it’s about half way there, so i’ll continue tomorrow after the men’s 8-9:30am group at the cloud.
3:37 PM: on april 13, my new Asvine 800 fountain pen was delivered. in every way, it’s by far the most wonderful fountain pen i’ve ever owned, and i’ve had a LOT! it’s kind of big and hefty and, most important, it’s transparent. so with the cap on, you can see the nib and you can see the ink in the transparent barrel. it’s a total delight to write with. and it was relatively inexpensive; i paid only $39.47, including tax.
