If you want to start sketching using a fountain pen, you might want to consider a piston fountain pen, because of their ink capacity twice as much as a normal fountain pen. But there are lots available and which one will you choose? I've heard lots of good things about the TWSBI Eco and TWSBI pens in general, so I asked for one for Christmas. This is my review and my conclusion? Its robust, easy to use and good to look at!

You might like to see a sketch done entirely in Kohinoor document ink using the TWSBI Eco here:    • Speed sketching with a fountain pen a...   and you might like to find out more about black inks suitable for the Eco here:    • Black fountain pen ink comparison  w...  

If you look on my channel there are lots of urban sketching films too, alongside watercolour tips and ideas.

If you like line and wash you might be interested in my book called 'Line and Wash Painting', which was published in January 2022 by The Crowood Press (www.crowood.com) and if you want more in depth training please check out my line and wash course over at www.lizchadertonstudio.co.uk. I have also written 'Painting Animals in Watercolour, so you might like that too.
