I did this sketch on the main street in my neighbourhood yesterday. I was hungry and eager to go back home for lunch but couldn't resist the sketch itch. I thought I could just throw some wash on with my waterbrush. I think the waterbrush did its job on this small 7"x7" sketch but I didn't enjoy using it. I felt I didn't have a good control of the water and paint even though the end result seemed fine.
This morning I did this sketch at home. I used my daVinci Casaneo quill brush and I just love how the paint flows on the paper with it! I don't think I will take the waterbrush out of my sketch kit yet. After all, it is convenient to use a waterbrush at times. I will definitely try to use my quill brush whenever possible though. Just to see the paint mix and flow on the paper is worth the trouble setting up.
