I have so many tools now that it is hard to decide what medium to use. My favorite is still the soft pastels. What is yours?

Southwest Sketch
Looking southwest from the porch this morning for my sketch. Landscape was on the list. I have sketched from the porch many times but not many in the big book in this direction. It is the same scene as the pastel sketch from a few days ago.

Number 5, landscape - I sketched with the Prismacolor Premier 01. The nib is about gone and maybe the ink as well. I'm sure the pen is over a year old and well used.
I wanted to add some color and as you know the paper in the big coffee table sketchbook does not take well to water. The Inktense pencils seemed a good thing to try. They are about the same as watercolor pencils and I haven't used them much. I put some on lightly before adding a bit of water.
And the finish with some water added. I think I like it better in black and white only. The paper stayed pretty smooth with such a small amount of water to blend the colors.

I like the addition of colour, makes the sketch seem more alive :)
favourite medium would probably be coloured pencils even though I haven't used them for a long time lol
Jennifer Rose, I like colored pencils .. results. I find just coloring to be boring. Regina and others seem to find it relaxing. I'm Miss Impatience.
