My family and I have just returned from a camping holiday around Tasmania. This is my first attempt at capturing snippets of my holiday in my sketch journal. I enjoyed the process a lot, and learned that I really should take some lessons to learn to handle watercolours better. The sketches reside in my beautiful [...]

Over the past couple of days I have been adding watercolour to the sketches I did over the course of our Tasmanian camping holiday. This little doodle was done quickly this morning with my Lamy Zebra fountain pen to fill the last little bit of my 3-page morning writing quota. I haven’t scribbled with my [...]
