Ngaire,
I find it difficult to explain what I am trying to do with the reed pen and brush. The best analogy would be to compare with a charcoal drawing.
With the coal you will make lines that are varied in size and structure, they may be thin in one end and getting thicker in the other end, maybe even get lost in a dark shadow.
The coal may also be used at the side making values. The shapes of those dark areas are also part of the drawing.
In short I will say that it is a painterly way of drawing. Not just a line drawing or value thing, but the two cooperate.
The cat drawing is 8 x 12" and took about 5 min.
