I have 'The Power Of Art' on DVD, it's a wonderful series presented by Simon Schama who brings it to life beautifully. I have watched it over and over....and over but never noticed the interview with Schama on the extras until the other night, so I popped it on.
I was about 5 minutes in when I stopped listening and started playing with the pause button, my fingers itching to sketch.
Being the lazy artist I am I couldn't be bothered to go to the studio so I grabbed the tiny pen from my handbag and started to sketch with that. It's a Pentel Roller Ball pen that's approx 2 inches in length and it was fun to play with.
