If you have already visited the 'Drawings Gallery', you will have already seen several drawings done using this technique. It involves using a fountain pen with water soluble ink for the initial drawing, followed by a rapid application of watercolour washes. The washes dissolve some of the ink lines, but can add a lot of character to the picture. I often use classic fountain pens from the 1940s and 1950s, which I have restored. However there are several very good modern pens including the Rotring Artpen, which was used for this drawing.
There is a lot of fun to be had experimenting with different pens and the different effects they create. It is one of my favourite ways of working.
