Husb and I spent a few days in The Lake District, visiting people and enjoying the beauty and quiet of the place. I took my Derwent Inktense blocks, a landscape Khadi sketchbook, a Daler Rowney reservoir brush and sat a while sketching.
First off, I did a quick sketch with the Inktense blocks, using them like pastels (above). Then I used a reservoir brush to apply water and develop a wash. At the end, I brushed some more water onto some blank bits and drew straight into the wet paper with the Inktense, which gives a much stronger colour.
