I'm so excited to open the first door of this year's Diamine Inkvent Calendar! Fortune's Gold is rich and shimmery - and perfect for painting this antique Shiny Brite ornament on my tree! It's been a while since I've penned and painted with ink - so the process is most of today's journey. My glass dip pen was too fine for the watercolor paper, so I ended up using a brush to avoid scratching into the paper. The wet ink also soaked into the paper a bit. I'm using an old watercolor paper I don't ever remember using, so that is also a fun new adventure! For those of you who don't know, I have never liked 140lb cold pressed watercolor paper. In fact, that paper is the whole reason I avoided watercolor for most of my life. But now, I'm up for all challenges, so let the exploration begin! Painting number 3979 in 3979 days.
