Great mix of buildings to choose on a summer day. Could I recommend taking a kayak onto a canal and drawing? I was right there last week without knowing you were or I'd have written since I like your work, especially the Vancouver drawings. Enjoy!

We did take a canal one day. But - (1) we didn't stay still long enough, (2) I completely forgot about drawing. If I go again, I will definitely work in a sketch. Hope you had a fun time in Amsterdam!

Are you using a fine tip fountain pen? What ink? Your work captures a scene and a feeling.

Thank you, Rob. I am using a fine tip Lamy Safari. I have used this fountain pen nearly every day for the last 5 years. It is the best for both writing and drawing. I use Platinum Carbon Black ink, it is waterproof and the darkest black ink I have been able to find.

A wonderful drawing and piece of writing Nishant. I’ve been admiring posts from you and at least two other artists staying in The Netherlands these past few weeks and I am itching to go back! I have also bookmarked the podcast episode in which you are interviewed. I love his episode titles! I’ve been working my way through The Sneaky Art podcasts right from the beginning since I discovered them a few weeks ago - I just finished the one with Roisin 🧡 - and so it will be good to hear the tables turned and learn more about your background in India.

So lovely to hear from you, Marta. I hope you enjoy the looong conversation. 😅

I am glad you enjoyed the Ep with Roisin. We had so much in common, it was a conversation of unexpected detours and discoveries for me!
