The first drawing is in pigma micron and the last three are with Derwent Inktense on Lanaquarelle hot press paper.

Henrys Lake State Park, Idaho

plein air sketch with Derwent Inktense pencils on hot press 140 lb Lanaquarelle
I've really liked the results I get when sketching with Inktense. It has the control of drawing and if I add water I get effects similar to watercolors.

Green ink here - I've tried different ink colors, but prefer to use black and add color with watercolor (carefully because the black ink isn't permanent)

Paper cut and double sided taped. I used tweezers. The last one was moving pieces around - trying different backgrounds, not committing to a final composition.
