A quick and easy barn demonstration. My reference for this quick line and wash sketch comes from my sketchbook. When I work on location I like to record the time it takes to complete a piece and this one was 12 min. according to my notation at the bottom.
This is also the reason I stopped using a pencil. I found I was taking as much time for the pencil sketch as it took ink over it. So I just skipped the first step.

PEN: A Pigma Micron pen, 005 and 01 nib.
BRUSH: A Polar Flo 1/2 inch flat brush is my current favorite. The bristle were originally white but have become stained.
PAPER: Size- 5"x7"
Arches 140lb Hot Press Paper for this Video.
My papers of choice include Arches 140lb Hot press and Cold press paper and Strathmore 500 series Sketchbooks. All are 100% cotton rag.
For beginners, I recommend starting with a high quality paper and experimenting with different types. As your style develops, you'll get a feel for which type is best. Waiting to switch to a better quality paper later will be much like learning to paint all over again.
MY PALETTE: All tube paints!
Winsor Newton- Yellow Ochre, Sepia, Burnt Sienna, Winsor Red, Davy's Gray, Ultramarine, Sap Green.
DaVinci - Phthalo Blue, Quinachridone Fuchsia, Cadmium Yellow Lemon, Cadmium Yellow Deep. **I plan to replace the Fuchsia with Winsor Newton Quinacridone Magenta when mine runs out.**
A note on Davy's Gray: I rarely use this pigment straight and when using it I usually mix it with each colour used.
MIXING PALETTE:
The palette is the mixing tray from a "Koi" Watercolour travel set. The colours are set up so the ones I mix together most often are close together.
Music:
Through closed eyes
Tomorrow's another day
A new journey
Sweet dreams
Twilight mood
