Practise with colouring media

Some quick thoughts on various colour rendering media after experimenting on printouts of Grant W. Reid's work. 

Inks: prefer these for line work rather than rendering. Failed to water them down enough in this instance. Was a flippin mess! 

Oil Pastels: the almost harsh vibrancey is great, but will have to practise technique as my application of it was poor. 

Watercolour pencils: nice washed out effect which I am comfortable applying. However, failed to use them with water to any effect. Will practise further. 

Water soluble markers: most effective for a quick render which you can quickly apply some texture and gradient to. Large brush is excellent for pulling washed out colour across walls, lawns etc. A new favourite.
