Guard Tower, Port Arthur, Tasmania

This is an approximately 4″ x 5″ pen and ink sketch, done about sixteen months ago, using a black ink gel pen to which I added the watercolour washes yesterday. For this I used a mini colour palette and water brushes since these are probably what I will carry with me as and when I resume sketching on location.

Nicely done! Are you Australian- or visiting our beautiful country?

Thank you Bethany.
I am not an Australian, and I have also not visited Australia. The reference photos for many of the quick sketches that I have been sharing lately are from Stephen Travers' videos on YouTube, and I think he is an Australian.

Very nice amount of color and figure perfectly placed for scale.
