“KIDSTON LIGHT” This week’s “Throwback Thursday” offering from my archives is an iconic lighthouse sitting in the harbor of Baddek, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. Drawn during a trip there several years ago. Sketched with a PLATINUM Carbon fountain pen with PLATINUM Carbon ink with watercolor added in a sketchbook. #LobstArtstudios @tom.Brudzinski #art #dessinateur artist #szkicownik #zeichner #dessin #sketch #drawing #quick-sketch #croquisrapide #croquis #szkic #szkicownik #throwbackthursday #platinumcarbonpen #platinumcarbonink #kidstonlight #virtualsketchwalk #watercolor #watercolour #aquarelle #akwarele #akwarela #baddeck #novascotia #capebreton #lighthousesofcanada
