Portage River Inked

I am exploring my newest ink - Colorverse Black Hole - at the river today.  This ink gets very dark quickly, so I use a lighter touch on the pen.  Leaving a lighter line allows me to get those mid tones with a little water, without getting too dark as a whole.  Have I mentioned how smooth the ink flow is off of the TWSBI Eco?  Every time I use this pen, I wonder why I use any other!  It is perfect, every time.  I now have 5 of their pens, and love them all!  Painting number 2233 in 2233 days.

A new TWSBI Eco fountain pen in Blossom Red, and Colorverse Black Hole ink awaited my return today!  I love how smooth this pen is - and the ink is rich and velvety.  The ink lays down black, but moves towards plum with the addition of water.  It gets dark very quickly with water, making it a challenge to get those mid tones.  Perhaps less ink on the paper would help.  Can't wait to play with this ink some more!  Painting number 2231 in 2231 days.
