PEN AND INK

Bath's Oldest House - Sally Lunn's Bun Shop in Lilliput Alley
When used in a "controlled" manner with pen, ink can welcome some stylistic approaches to a painting, as seen with the buildings of Bath (above) and Weston and Burnham (below).
But it can also give some very exciting effects when offered up to water, as with the examples of the lighthouse and jazz player, in the middle. Whereas watercolour looks - well, "watery" and oil - well, "oily" - as for ink, it sort of "explodes" when it comes into contact with a wet surface, creating fantastic moods and drama.
