pleased with progress off to class so moh later as my grandson Henry says.
Calling it done. My weapons of choice were an Isabey #2 squirrel mop and a Lamy Vista fine point with an ink converter lapsed wit carbon platinum black ink. Mop is from Cheap Joes expensive but worth it and cheaper than Dick Blick. I got the pen and converter from Amazon but the ink from Goulet. The Amazon ink was NOT waterproof though it appeared to be the same ink. Another good waterproof ink is Noodlers Lexington Grey from Sam Flaxs Atlanta and de Artrementis DOCUMENT Brown from Goulet pens.
Colors used cerulean and cobalt sky. Aurelion yellow, Quinn gold in roof. burnt sienna quin burnt orange inathradone for the Sphinx. Quin gold hookers green olive green and green hematite with burnt umber in greenery. Piemonte and cobalt blue shadows on buildings and sidewalks.

That’s where I got it from. U need a converter and ink. Just be sure you get Platinum Carbon Plus ink from Goulet not Amazon or noodlers Lexington Grey. They are permanent. I got a bottle of Platinum Carbon black of Amazon ran like crazy. Not good when u want to do watercolor too.
