Will check out the book--sounds great.

The brush pen requires a pretty light touch to get it to work. I'll see if I can find some of Danny's sketches and study them. It's fun really to have a scene come together fairly fast. :-) And as you know I'm sure, the images don't really "pop" until the watercolor is completely dry. Funny how one can think a painting is so-so while it's wet and then later, once it's dry, take another look at it and realize it turned out OK. Thanks Karen for the comments.
