In this tutorial I use my trusty fountain pen to draw a Lighthouse. Drawing with a fountain pen is a lot of fun and and following this line and wash tutorial you will see how the layers get built up and how the linework and paint combine to make a whole image.
This simple step by step guide and simple demonstration is great for beginners to Urban Sketching.
Beginning your urban sketching journey can be intimidating but so much fun, even though the learning curve is steep its the most fun.
