    Cool, you made your own bespoke brush roll. That's and excellent idea, very creative too.
    Good choice of brushes for urban sketching.
    White Nights are good quality paints, although some are quite opaque. I have the Ladoga version (24 palette) and a couple of tubes of White Nights too, all from Evetskya Palitra St. Petersburg.
    Your self-assembly board set up is very well thought out. I've been thinking of doing something similar, so this video has given me some great ideas. Thank you. Liked and subscribed in a flash!

      Thank you and good luck with discovering museum sketching, it's so much fun! The key here is to prepare and study the rules in advance to make sure it is allowed to paint in that specific museum to avoid any issues!

      The ones in the video are appr 22*30 cm each to fit an A4 sheet of paper. I have also made smaller pieces (20*26 cm) that I've been using a lot this year as this size fits my set up better. So happy my video inspired you to make similar boards!!

    Which brand/kind of ink do you use that is compatible with fountain pens?

      At the moment I use carbon ink by Platinum Co - it is waterproof and suitable for fountain pens as it doesn't clog them like regular Indian ink for dip pens does

      @@eileenvalachovic9435 True! If you know you are not going to use your pen for some time it is better to push the ink off the pen back to the bottle, and load it once you are ready to use it again
