Unfettered: January 2015

Friday, January 23, 2015. Doodling in the New Sketchbook. Just some doodles in a new sketchbook with heavier paper. My old sketchbook is really not made for for wet techniques, so I bought a Stillman and Birn Archival Sketchbook (zeta series). The paper is 180lbs and handled multiple washes. Below are the first few sketches/doodles that I have done thus far. Links to this post. Saturday, January 17, 2015. Watercolor, pen and ink on 140lbs paper 9x12. Links to this post.

Urban Sketchers Australia: Urban Sketchers Sydney at Sydney Hospital
http://australia.urbansketchers.org/2015/05/urban-sketchers-sydney-at-sydney.html
Urban Sketching Groups and Events. Monday, May 4, 2015. Urban Sketchers Sydney at Sydney Hospital. The Urban Sketchers Sydney events just seem to get better and better. Despite Saturday's 'rain- heavy at times' forecast we had a fantastic turn up of 34 people to the Sydney Hospital courtyard.It is always great when we are all sitting together in the one area, so this courtyard was ideal. And a nice roomy cafe was a good base! Everywhere you looked, there were sketchers! February 17, 2016 at 4:37 PM.

Unfettered: November 2014
http://charlie_amra.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 25, 2014. Screwing around with technique. I have been wanting to try some crazier, looser techniques in watercolor that I have seen others do. The paper in the notebook I used was too porous to handle all the water that I threw at it (you can see the radiating wrinkles on the right side of the picture). It was fun anyway. I really liked using the white gel pen to add highlights. Links to this post. Labels: comic book art. Uni-ball Signo Broad White Gel Ink Pen. Lake between the Mountains.

Wednesday, February 25, 2015. Horse - De Atramentis Document Brown Ink Test. So, I was finally able to obtain some De Atramentis document brown ink. Getting a hold of this ink in the US is like winning the lottery (I have been trying since the summer). And having the chance to actually get to play with it, I can see why it it is so valued.
