Hello, I love your drawings of the bridge and find the watercolor one particularly beautiful, and it become very different of your usual designs ;) I finally bought your book, found it from a UK online seller; I must now climb in it in english, not allways easy , so I will go by little pieces one by one !
I do receive your posts for your next course, but really not able now for it, though I'm trying to return to draw with others ways (and some like SDB you know ;) and yes, I remember how everything is new and incredible with a small guy who discovers all the world, it's a very kind and precious period to appreciate ;) (mine is now 28, and things are so,so much different...) enjoy your days !
Your line drawing of the ferry and bridge is absolutely exquisite.
Also I love the way small children remind us the joy of discovering each day as if it’s a brand new world 🩵 my own kiddos have equally challenged me to drop my jadedness and lean back into that simple awe!
Yes! Line widths are a very important thing for me. In that drawing, you see three lines - the medium fountain pen nib, the reverse side of the same nib (that produces a thinner line), and a thick fineliner to border my foreground elements.
It's just the best to have someone or something upend all the pessimism you didn't realize was settling on your head like so much dust. The b.e.s.t.
So true, Jenny! I am now fully vested in this world, and there is no room for cynicism or nihilistic despondence in my mind.

Anne, I am so glad to hear from you. I hope you enjoy the book, I would love to hear how it goes. :)
Ooh, I use acrylic gouache primarily for my paintings. How do you find using them?
I'm really enjoying it more than I expected to!
Try it less diluted. Also, layering!

do you use different width pens? i like how you created the boat on the bottom of the page

Thank you so much. it’s a beautiful style.
Glad to help. I do things this way because I carry very few tools when I am out sketching. It keeps me quick and sneaky. :)
