A pen, ink and wash sketch of my watercolor palette and paint. This mobile watercolor box is Rembrandt. It comes empty with 2 areas that you can house your 1/2 pans in. It is light weight and is very handy. As you can see I placed 11 1/2 pans and one 5ml tube. The paints are not the standard that come in a set, but these are essential colors to make a painting.

Nanyang or South East Asian coffee is so staining. I bought about 200g of coffee powder to paint. First I needed to boil some water and then dissolve the powder (about 4-5 teaspoons) in a pot. Then I have to filter out the undissolved coffee powder through a "sock". What was left is true brown coffee solution. With a big brush I started painting on a line art I did in Penang. I added a second layer when the first is dried. Here's the result. I will be adding other colors later.

Drawing my work desk[/caption]
My work desk in my studio (I work in 2 locations) is usually my haven, where I would do everything. I am always wishing that I have bigger desk but let's do with what I have now.
Hero pen and ink.
