Painting of a made-up Amsterdam scene. Painted in cobalt blue ink by Graf von Faber-Castell, though it’s much more of a purple thing when you start to water it down.
Made-up Amsterdam

Twiske in May
Drawing from the Twiske (near Amsterdam) on a really hot day. Drawn with a bamboo stick, crayon, fountain pen, coloured pencil and my fingertip.
