In this video I demonstrate a technique using a fountain filled with semiwaterproof ink and a water brush. This technique allows you to create a pen and ink and ink wash drawing using very limited means, and is perfect for urban sketchers or anyone looking for a portable and compact way to draw.

Waterresistance in inks varies greatly, from very low to entirely waterproof. Some inks are semiresistant to water, however, and this property can be exploited by using the watersoluble element in the ink to create washlike effects. In this video I'm using Noodlers Brown, but I'm certain that quite a number of inks would work quite as well.
