My new Fabriano sketch pad, drawing pens and water brush arrived yesterday, I'm now good to go! I removed the pages from my first journal that I'd used and I'm going to make them into a little booklet. Russ has been inspired to keep a writing journal, so at the weekend we bought him a nice pen and he's going to use the old journal. He's a great writer, so I'm looking forward to seeing what he fills those blank pages with.

Here's another inspirational sketching blog that you should visit:
Julie Oakley Blog
Julie's blog is a treasure trove of sketches and drawings, in numerous styles. I really like the sense of depth and perspective she puts into her work. I also like her Photoshop colouring technique, which is something that I'm eager to try.
