This is my first SketchCrawl, and I have to say that it was an enormous amount of fun to participate in. I was able to round up two other people to sketch with me in this sleepy little Montana town, and I hope to get there works to post up here as well.....so for now here are my contributions. The first images is qouache on a piece of chipboard and the second image is gouache/pastel on paper with pen over the top.

Thanks Alina, Klammed, and Pica for all those very nice comments.
To Pica -- Don't be afraid of those pastels, I like using NuPastels made by Prismacolor, they are a little bit stiffer and not as fragile as some, but it still gives you a nice vibrant line. Dig in and smear those babies around, pastels can be a great way of laying down some color really quickly, and then you can come back over the top with paints, pens, pencils, whatever...good luck!
