Pen Sketch and Book

The new Pilot fountain pen is interesting.  Maybe a finer nib would be better.  It does bleed through the pages in the big book.  Looks a bit messy when that happens.  It is good practice, though, so I will use it for a while.  This is in the big book, maybe twenty minutes worth.

I have posted about Deborah Secor before.  She is a great artist living in Rio Rancho, New Mexico.   She works in gouache as well.   Deborah sold many paintings, taught classes, worked for the Pastel Journal, made a video or two for North Light, did demos at the International Association of Pastel Societies convention and much more.  She takes part on wetcanvas and was constantly asked about "how to paint landscapes with pastel".  Deborah wrote a book about it and decided to give it away and not sell it.  Sometimes when we see something for free, you think it isn't any good.  Download the book, it is more than worth it.  It is full of "how to ...." and inspiration.
