Recently Brenda Swenson posted on Facebook about the fun of sketching with Stabilo point 88 water-soluble pens — you can find Brenda’s blog post about sketching with Stabilo pens here. I was at Michael’s craft store to get some yarn and they had a big display by the register of these pens, so I picked up two of them.
The sienna (color #75) is just a bit too orangey for me, but I really like the brown (#45)! Similar in behavior to the Elegant Writer calligraphy pen I’ve played around with, you can wash out a bit of shadow from your sketch, then let it dry. When watercolor is later added, the ink lines stay put.
The two prickly things I sketched were the remains of a pine cone that a squirrel left on our patio after snacking, and a magnolia seed pod after it opened up and let some seeds fall.
