I coloured this with the new Inktense water-colour pencils. These pencils are buttery soft and dissolve very easily with the addition of water. Water makes the colours even more intense and vibrant. I like these pencils a lot. The down side to this brand is that they are so soft that they don't hold a point so it is hard to get a sharp, thin line. But the strong colours make up for that.
The paper is Bee paper's Co-mo sketchbook. I like the texture of it. It is thin, only 80 lb so won't take a wash of colour without wrinkling badly. But as a take-along sketchbook, it's the perfect weight and size. I took the photo with the iPhone in natural light. No shadows this time, except where the paper had crinkled a bit.

I love your fish! And the onions below too :-)
He's beautiful. Must have been awesome snorkeling and admiring those fish!
Fun fish, love the colors, I also love the inktense pencils, the color is amazing after wetting, and dissolves immediately, course the color is ink, not watercolor or paint so I am not sure how well it will hold up over time.
Wow...you learn something everyday! I didn't know what Kathleen Walker said...that they were made of ink, though I guess it should have been clear! I love the colors! Great fish! I've been wanting a set of these(but it could be a while--the 'wanting' list is quite long!)
