Another Look at the Sennelier Ink Brush Pen
I mentioned the other day that I picked up four of the Sennelier Ink Brush Pens. Since then I keep using them for warm up sketches. Today you can see a warm-up sketch made with the Payne’s Gray brush pen. I’ve included the video of the sketch session on YouTube at this link. My […]
My Relationship with Perry Mason, Part 47 of ?
I don’t even know how to begin to document my relationship to “Perry Mason” (the television series starring Raymond Burr.
