Sketching in Plein Air

Here are more examples of urban sketching on site. For the sketches I used Strathmore Toned Tan 80lb, 5.5x8.5 in. paper, a Uniball Vision Elite brown ink pen, a Uniball Vision Micro black ink pen, and a Primo Bianco white charcoal pencil. The other was rendered using a Pilot V Razor Point extra fine black pen on an Aqua watercolor sketch book. Before doing the sketch on the Aqua I applied a glaze of 15% gelatine and water to the paper and let it dry thoroughly.
