Here is a sketch I did of the Battle of Long Island in 1776 using ink, watercolor, and watercolor pencils. I find that the watercolor pencils are good for adding details after sketching key structures in ink and then applying various watercolor washes. I like how the colors turned out but I found it tedious to creating the soldiers therefore this sketch does not really communicate the full sense of the battle.
