  • Hi everyone, today I'm sharing with you my morning finding inspirations at Deville Coffee in Downtown Vancouver. This cafe has a compelling view of the Waterfront Station building right outside the window. I grabbed that perfect seat by the window and spent nearly 2 hours drawing and painting the brick building and the downtown ambience. Please watch the video until the end for my full process composing this sketchbook page using pen and watercolors.
    🎨 Materials I used:
    - Sailor's fude fountain pen (Bamboo Green)
    - Noodler's Brown 41 Ink (to fill the fountain pen)
    - Mungyo watercolors
    - Etchr Mix-Media A4 size Landscape Sketchbook
    - Holbein Water Brush (large tip)
    - Holbein water brush (medium tip)
    🎨 I'm teaching online classes every week. Check them out the newest 2024 classes in my Ko-Fi Shop:

    Every day is a good day to make art. We don't need fancy subjects, but we need to pay attention to the beauty in the mundane.

    Hi Becky. Your biggest fan is here to watch you draw! I am constantly amazed at your skill set. You are my inspiration to draw better and use more concise strokes of the pen. I've been practicing this past week and have really enjoyed the process. Thank you so much for your informative videos. I'm ready to enroll in one of your classes now. Take care!

    I got the pen! No idea how to use it... and I need waterproof ink for it. I love your sketches... the coffee and food, people in the foreground, and the buildings as the background, although they're what we're looking at. I so enjoy your work, thank you

    Hi Becky, I’m enjoying your videos this past week since You Tube entered you in my feed. Using ink is new to me I usually just lightly sketch and then paint, but I’m trying your method and like it for my sketchbook. Thank you for the effort you put into making the videos, they are very good!

    Will you recommend using this fude fountain pen rather than other fountain pen?

    • @BeckyCao
      @BeckyCao  3 місяці тому +1

      yes. The bent nib can create more expressive lines that regular fountain pens don't. ☺️

    Wonderful video! The sketch & watercolor is fabulous. I used to go to the zoo and sketch. 🦍🦛🦓🦩But then I got a job and it’s hard to fit it in anymore. I’m inspired to make a plan to visit again.
