I can’t say my week has been very productive (or maybe it’s been more productive than I realize?). I’m working on a side project and wanted to know what combination of ink or pencil would work well with watercolour paints vs. watercolour pencil crayons. So far, after consulting with a freelance art critic (my mother), it looks like the combo that came out on top is ink brush with watercolour pencil crayons and watercolour paint highlights (the flower at the very bottom). The paper is watercolour paper but I’ll be damned if I can remember the brand or weight.
Either way, that finished flower is my first attempt to colour a drawing with anything other than pencil crayons. The kicker here is the pentel ink brush, which takes a ton of practice to master, is the one that I’ll end up going with. So, again, a longer journey than I thought.
