New drawings from Sketchcrawl #9

One of the first drawings done with my new Parker 45 fountain pen.
The view from Fillmore street.
Sketchcrawl is an all day life drawing session, the brain child of Pixar story artist Enrico Casarosa. I have attended three of these, and always have an enjoyable time. Usually everyone meets in the morning at some location in San Francisco, then we all go sketching along a determined path. This past saturday we walked down Fillmore street towards the Marina, and ended up at the Palace of Fine Arts. It was a clear day, and i was able to relax and take my time with a beautiful view of the marina and the Golden Gate bridge. I used my NY central wash mop watercolor brush that i bought in New York a couple of weeks back. It is the only mop wash brush that i have found that keeps a point. I bought a 1/2 and a 3/4 for larger areas. The fountain pen that i ordered from richardspens.com is turning out to be a great pen, and after breaking it in on saturday, i will not go back to the packs of cheap pens from staples anymore. A big thanks to Elwood for sharing your information on fountain pens! For more information on the whole sketchcrawl "thang" look over at my links, you will find a link for the sketchcrawl site.
