Tonight, I was in the mood for exploring the depths of a few of the new inks I got at Christmas. Part of Diamine's Inkvent Calendar, I am using Winter Spice, Thunderbolt, Seize the Night, and Brandy Snap, the inks closest to the colors I see in our stormy landscape right now. I dropped these inks in where I saw them, with a dropper! I then took a very wet wash brush, and ran it along the edge of those lines, adding water and blotting as needed to describe the landscape. As the gloss was off the paper, I added in a bit more ink with a dip pen. The magic all happens in the wet wash - and it's completely uncontrollable! I love using these inks in such a cool way - and there is a wonderful glistening to the Brandy Snap ink, and some intriguing chroma to the others! I think more exploration is called for!
