I am really impressed with all of your pages! I have never yet found a fountain pen I can get along with - they all seem scratchy and dry out quickly. I tried a Rotring Art Pen which I hoped would be better but sadly not. Maybe it's something I'm not doing right? :0)Sandra Busbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05622208510609673242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4166133926661022482.post-44600243496180007222015-02-17T04:47:09.061+10:002015-02-17T04:47:09.061+10:00Wonderful pieces of art, Serena.

Especially impressed with your first week of Sketching Now and the lovely flowers in the waiting room when you took your mom. You are managing to do some classwork and sketching through all of this and being so busy.

I'm amazed that you are able to sketch and create so much. You're an inspiration. <br />I like the look of the Goulet pens but have never heard of them before.

I just discovered them last month. I have been thinking about getting a lamy pen but am not sure which one. Goulet pens is great, aren't they!<br /><br />Looking forward to more of your daily sketches.GalleryJuanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15575583597100806570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4166133926661022482.post-19818025005668055912015-02-15T17:18:56.518+10:002015-02-15T17:18:56.518+10:00So sorry that your Dad is deteriorating...

Your sketches don't show any difficulties though and your lines are as lovely as always. I am just starting to use fountain pens and dip pens a lot more after not really using them since college so it is like starting all over again, but I am loving it. Very envious of your Lamy.Tracey FKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052306649633275907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4166133926661022482.post-90990196193215036402015-02-15T15:41:42.853+10:002015-02-15T15:41:42.853+10:00I'm sorry to hear your father is still not doi...I'm sorry to hear your father is still not doing well.
