The Travel Art Kit Is...Inktense!

Recently, I picked up a 24-color set of Derwent "Inktense" ink blocks. The main reason I wanted them was so I could have a color option when I was traveling. The coolest thing about these is that you can just add water to this block of pigment to get some serious colored ink!

Jiantan Hills Wall
Xinjiang Rock Outcrop
Yosemite Creek
These are my practice tries, using a small 3x4" pad of watercolor paper, an ink pen, and a nifty brush with its own, squeezable water reservoir.

I got the chance to put these to use as we explored the northeastern corner of China with its brilliant Fall foliage. I'll post the results soon!
