This fun, simple still life was drawn completely from imagination. My objective was to combine different tools to complete the job. This one includes graphite pencil, permanent ink using a uni-ball pen (fine), two shades of India ink dilutions, my new Lamy Safari fine nib fountain pen, and a touch of watercolour.

The Lamy pen was recommended by Marc Taro Holmes in his blog on urbansketchers.org. It is a fine instrument and the blue cartridge it came with allowed the ink to interact with the India ink washes. I also used a cartridge with permanent ink.

The bit of watercolour was from my Lukas kit which I bought several years ago while learning the basics of watercolour from Donna Cameron, a superb painter from Prince Edward County.
