Love this! Do you use india ink pens? Or do you just use the available ink ball point pens that are so easy to have at hand? Which paper is your choice?

Well, Lynne, for tyhis one I used Canson paper 300 g/m2 (140LBs) HP. Very smoth.
I used a graphite pencil for the first drawing and then watercolor. When it was dry I redraw the rocks with fount india ink.
It was a bit windy, so I didn't "finish" it but i'm glad I didn't, because I like it this way. it's just a quick register of an emotion :)
