In this week's video, I sketch this windmill from Cley-Next-The-Sea in Norfolk in watercolor and pen. I use a uni-pin fine liner pen to make the sketch in my Moleskine watercolor sketchbook, then use watercolours to add the wash.

If you'd like to sketch along, you can find the reference photo for this, and all my other line and wash sketches on my website.
