Thank you for sharing your experience, Brenda. I love traveling vicariously through you and learning of the places you've been. Your sketches, as always, are amazing to me, and I really enjoy the way you handle your watercolor. Also, seeing how lightly you travel is inspiring.

I love to watch your videos over and over looking at the different techniques. I especially love your line drawings. I think of a line as an adventure and how I solve problems as I draw is what creates the interest. I like the large heavier fountain pens as well. I am going to try brown ink and see how it works for me. Thank you for your inspiration.

Mike, Thank you so much! I couldn't agree more. Each drawing is a new puzzle-problem to be solved. Heavier fountain pens feel like an extension of my hand where small fountain pens require I grip tightly. Happy sketching!

Eulili, Don’t be afraid... start on the second page if the first page is too intimidating. Fill it with every day little items and don’t worry about creating a masterpiece. Fill it with things that bring you joy... drawings of your favorite jewelry, a coffee cup, favorite sneakers, a friends face...

Thanks, Brenda. A lovely city indeed is Bruges. Info at the end on materials and ink were helpful. I usually use Lamy Safari or a Lami Joy but will take a look at the Pilot VP. I have always had concerns about taking ink overseas but apparently you have not had an issue using the bottles that you showed us. Have seen good reviews on Goulet Pens for the Pilot. You likely refill the cartidges or fill an ink converter from this bottles you showed. BTW, I am nearly finished making a sketchbag from that Harbor Freight bag using your ideas. First trip out sketching it worked well. I"ve gone to Emmaline Bags in Canada for the bag hardware that enables me to attach d-rings to each end so I can use a shoulder strap.

One question about the De Atramentis document ink. Is it hard to clean out the converter from this ink after use? I have a Pilot vanishing point pen and a bottle of De Atramentis ink but am not sure if I dare to fill it with this ink? Is there no problem in your opinion?
