Well, I started just with some simple water colour washes with brushes and then I go in and play with a bit of watercolour to strengthen up some colour in places to pull things forward for push things back. I put down some frisket first before the washes. Just to give me some interest later with some white spots. Anyways, after all the washes and dropping in more colour with more intense watercolor, I used the Posca Pens (which have different sized tips you can choose) that are filled with acrylic paint. They’re not cheap. They are awesome. I still like doing some linework with my brushes. These pens are a whole lot better for outlining. And then you can just play around- you can outline things, you can drop colours and shapes, whatever you want- you can fill in areas. If you go looking for Posca Pens they also have markers so don’t confuse the two. There are other brands as well and I’ve used them and I’m enjoying them. I hope they hold up -so far so good. I have used them on bigger paintings. Some people do a lot of beautiful work with them on rocks, fabric – like running shoes. Just go play, see what they can do!
