As I mentioned in my last Sunday Sketch post, I went to my local-ish art store recently and was really pleased to see they stock the artist pens I bought at the city art store. I bought a ‘sepia’ coloured one. I also found a pack of water resistant pens in different sizes, so I have a bit of variety and will eventually work out what I prefer to sketch with, and a different brand of water brush.

That night, while watching tv, I sketched a few cats from a little picture book I have on the coffee table. I used the finest pen, and tried out the water brush with my new mint tin paint set. The tools did their job perfectly – this water brush doesn’t overload with water like the other ones.

My job on the cats isn’t as great (the white one looks dead – or so Paul says) but I had fun sketching them.

I really enjoyed being able to play with paints while relaxing downstairs with the tv and heater on, or while listening to a podcast, without much danger of making a mess. This is usually knitting time, though. But sometimes I need to give the knitting a break, if my hands are a bit sore, and I reckon I’d really enjoy doing more tv watching sketching.
