Sepia watercolour on fabriano paper.  I was inspired by the watercolour drawings of Marlene Dumas to have a go at drawing with a very loose watercolour wash.  I invested in a decent size watercolour brush, which cost what seemed like a ridiculous amount of money.   But it is superb to use.  It holds a lot of water, but also goes down to a tiny point at the end so that you can actually make very fine marks with it if you need to.  I drew directly with the paint, without doing any pencil drawing first and I do enjoy this spontaneous way of working.  You get what you get, basically, and that can be quite interesting.
