HINTS OF TINTS






The top picture is grey ink and watercolor. I use solid watercolor sticks that look like pencils, but have no wood. You can draw and shade with them and then go over them with a wet brush. I used a wet brush and take the color off the tip of the sticks.

The second from the top is carbon pencil and watercolor. Carbon pencil is like charcoal but much harder and doesn't smear so readily. Painting over it makes a bit of a dirty smear, but adds some character to the work.

The next three are graphite and watercolor.

The last one is a Sharpie and watercolor. Drawing with a Sharpie is pretty daunting.
