a look at some of my favourite pens...

I've loads of different pens, but there are some that I use a lot.  They include these

the V5

the Uni-ball eye

and occasionally, when I need a brown/sepia look I use this Faber-Castell PITT pen

but how do they perform, bearing in mind that I add watercolours sometimes.  Getting a pen that doesn't Run Everywhere is essential. 

That can also work in my favour though, like sketching William, the ink runs perfectly in the V5.  Here's a little chart....

and my notes here on how I found them

A busy morning

and some interesting activity this morning over at the local beach with the arrival of the Air Ambulance - according to sources it could well have been called out due to an over enthusiastic fitness fanatic - as far as I am aware the emergency services left without a patient on board ...but at least they turned out and are on hand to help if necessary
