Pen and watercolour sketch of houses in Bathwick on the Kennet and Avon Canal, Bath. This was a test for my new Rhodia watercolour sketchbook. I was really happy with the way the paper took watercolour without buckling, and the pleasing texture of the cold pressed paper.

A pen and watercolour sketch of a house we saw in Napier. A lot of houses in New Zealand have corrugated iron roofs and verandas. Napier is famous for its art deco buildings and wine, and we enjoyed our visit there.

Thanks! Moleskine isn't great tbh, and I've found some of their sketchbooks have more texture one side of the paper than the other. I tend to stick to strong colours, and try not to do anything too subtle. I'm terrible at using 'good' sketchbooks though - they just stay in a drawer for some reason!
