    Yeah, I overpaid for these pencils, that seems to be the plain truth. Maybe this art supply store was too close to a tourist-y area and I got got. I'm still very happy with these Rotring 600 mechanical pencils, they go so good with my Rotring 800. They just feel good to hold in my hand and they work well!

    Big brain move by the old Italian architects to ensure that in the future, cell service would not be available. Thus providing businesses the maximum potential to thrive by minimizing the ability to price check.

    Those Rotring 600 pencils are my favorite pencils on the planet. Definitely worth the price, even if you paid extra, IMO ❤ In case anyone wants to know about the paper in your sketchbook, it's Fabriano Tiepolo 90 lb. printmaking paper. Available at Talas or Acuity Papers. You can definitely watercolor on it with your waterbrush. It's amazing paper. I'm so glad it's working for you ❤️

    Hullo Peter, I think that most anything you buy on vacation or on a trip is worth whatever you have to pay to bring it home! Not only do you have this Pencil now it is a memory of your time in Italy! It is a souvenir that is practical too! It is something you can use for everyday or special occasions, it is your tool or nick-nack for display! I liked BOTH drawings and I feel that you have been enriched by your trip and perhaps these pencils will be a fond remembrance of that time in Italy! Thanks for sharing this and other experiences with us all.

    I live in a particularly pricey part of Italy. Growing up I loved to look at all the fancy art materials in the store, but they were so expensive that I felt like I would never be able to get them. Then sites like Amazon became a thing and I discovered that some things literally cost double or triple at my local stores. Imagine my shock. It depends on the brand and also sets tend to be more priced up then for example a single pencil, but I finally was able to fulfill some little dreams that I had since elementary school. I still buy things at the store that I know are fairly priced because I don't want stores to go away, but if there's a difference that's too extrem I now shop online.

    On the topic of pipe organs and the big tube. Pipe organ pipes effectively work the same way that you think a whistle does, you’re right. And that sensation of being able to feel the sound more so than hearing it, that’s a phenomenon called “infrasound.” Human ears can generally only hear fundamental tones down to around 20 cycles per second (i.e. hz). A tone isn’t just comprised of one singular pitch, it has a series of differing pitches ratio-ed above the fundamental called “overtones.” Google overtones and the harmonic series, it’s too much to explain lol. Anyway, there gets a certain point when a pitch becomes so low that we can no longer hear its fundamental tone, so it just sounds like a low ambiguous rumble. Yet we can still feel the air that is pulsating as a result of the tone being played, because that’s how sound travels and how we perceive it, the disruption through the air. The worlds largest pipe organ in Atlantic City, New Jersey at Boardwalk Hall Auditorium has the lowest pipe constructed in an organ standing at a whopping 64 feet long (if any pipe organ fanatics are reading this, yes, I know it’s not the only full 64’), creating a fundamental tone that sounds at 8 cycles per second. Human ears cannot hear that pitch, but everyone that has heard the 64 foot pipe attests that it’s not the sound that makes an impression, but rather how you feel it, because it moves so much air you can actually feel the sensation in your lungs and in your body.

    The art support store XD "Have you an art materials addiction? Fear not, the art support store has a telephone line, open 24/7, free to call. We're here to help you decide, wether you REALLY need that new pen or not" XD
    Really good looking pens. Hope you had a good time in Florence. Was there once with my art class, years ago, and for a teenager it really was an amazing trip... Would love to return asan adult now. Re-experience.

    i really enjoyed your trip to italy sketchbooks. i saw this one and another but can't find it. but in one book you drew a "weird" plumbing trap. S and P traps are plumbing for drains. the S and P shapes allow water to stay in the bottom of the trap leaving good air on top of the water and bad air on the other side of the water. that trapped water creates a barrier of water to stop the fumes (An S-trap flows down from the drain, curves up, then curves back down. The P-trap also flows down from the drain and curves, but the curve finishes on a horizontal pipe that takes the waste out. Once the trap dries out, sewer gases can start flowing back into your home). copied that from an explanation I found.
    Anyway, you got your money's worth out of that trip. lots and lots of good drawings and memories. thanks for sharing.

    I have the Rotring 600, the 800 0.5 & 0.7 and also The Rapid Pro Lead Holder.....I rarely use my 600 unless sitting at my desk working with it, it's not travel friendly and I've had to replace it once because it fell and the tip bent rendering it unless. The others are retractable and a dream to work with, I absolutely love them. I can throw them into my work bag and not worry about them!!

    Festen (The Celebration) is one of the best movies ever made. You captured the despair of Ulrich's character. He comes home to a big family gathering to celebrate his father's birthday, but when it's his time to make a toast, he has another, much darker story, to tell... Watch it.

    The build of that pencil is beautiful though! I have never had a Rottling, but it looks like it is priced at $47 on Amazon for the 0.5 mm. The metal exterior would have sold me but I'm all for "sturdy" art supplies. The red with the black looks so aesthetically pleasing for me.

    Newly discovered a fun pen for on the go is a 0.5 mm Rhodia 3-in-1 script multipen. It’s a red ballpoint, a black ballpoint and a mechanical pencil all in 1.

    These are the best mechanical pencils to draw fine details with, but they are made in germany not italy. Don't drop em or the metal part will bend. Otherwise, they are great. It's a $20 pencil though, so it better be good lol. The Pentel mechanical pencils of the same "draftsman" quality range are almost as nice, but their tip retracts so you don't have to worry as much about breaking them. I can't bring the r0tring one anywhere because of the tip, and one has already broke from dropping it on its tip. Lately I just use wood.

Apologize, turn my pocket out. I'd say I will try to come back before my flight. 99% of the time they took the 30 euros as payment. I was living in the Nederlands and to a lessor extent the same thing worked in most of Europe.
