Wash drawing of gnarled California Bay Laurel tree trunks with young off shoots. Sketched in the woods on a portable small wooden easel. This is handy as you can place various sketchbooks on the 'table' portion and adjust to any angle for washes, etc. Fabriano Classic Artist's Journal paper, 6"x 8". Faber -Castell dark sepia fine pen and brush. Various watercolor tints; sepia, neutral tint, prussian blue, burnt sienna and yellow orchre. Caran d'ache watercolor pencils and Pentel's tradio pen. In my upcoming fall Gouache & Watercolor workshop, I will go over mixed media tools, such as these too!
