Palette Update - 12.7.20
When I start a new sketchbook I like to document the paint colors in my current palette. It’s a useful reference and it gets some paint on that first page! Sometimes I get afraid of "messing up” a beautiful new sketchbook and this habit moves me past the fear.

On the right two fountain pens are illustrated, a clear TWSBI Eco pen with Noodler’s Apache Sunset ink (bright orange), and a Green Sailor pen with DeAtramentis Document Yellow ink.
