Thanks to my friend and fellow blogger, Suzanne from The Travelbunny, for this fabulous photo from Peru.
I used Arteza Real Brush Pens* in Sapphire Blue, Light Green, Bright Blue, Teal and Royal Blue and a couple of Inkonic* fine liners (including A117 ) for some of the smaller details. *affiliate links
