Pen and Ink

I almost always carry a fountain pen with me, it's what I use.  Recently, I ran across the idea of using a brush dipped in water to cause the ink to run in a (mostly) controlled way, creating shadows and tone.

I tried it, and I'm hooked.  As often as not, I'll carry my small sketchbook and now a waterbrush with me, to go along with my trusty fountain pens.  Below are some examples.

These first two I did at Hollywood Casino in Charles Town, WV.  My wife is an occasional gambler, I'm not.  I go, grab a cup of coffee and sit in the food court and people watch, read, and sketch.
