Drawing at the zoo today, using a technique James Gurney demoed at Spectrum. I’m thinking it may turn into a favorite method of mine, because it’s easy to carry around and lets you block in values extremely quickly.
Essentially, just get 2 watercolor pens (the ones that you can fill up with whatever) and fill one with water, and the other with an ink/water solution (the proportion can vary) which you inject into the pen with a syringe. You can use them like a normal brush pen (or brush and ink setup), but then also easily lay in washes.
It’s a great, portable setup.
Oh god these are so gorgeous

The Colorful Street Carpets of Semana Santa, in Antigua. In some Central American countries like Guatemala and Honduras, Semana Santa, or Holy Week, is celebrated in a colorful fashion, by creating beautiful street carpets made of sand and sawdust and decorated with plants and flowers, called alfombras. via
