Pumpkin Nocturne Inked


Sometimes, it's fun to explore the range of fountain pen inks - on pumpkins!!  I have quite a collection of fountain pens and inks, which I add to each fall with Diamine's Inkvent Calendar. I haven't yet ordered this season's, but am painting with the inks of former sets. They are dramatic and fun, and I've purchased several in large bottles after trying them in small sizes.  I love the chromatic ones the most, and a little shimmer goes a long way, too. I can hardly wait to start opening one each day in December!  What better advent calendar for an artist?!!  Painting number 5052 in 5052 days
