I love the rich violet blue of Diamine's Thunderbolt ink! It is free flowing with the addition of water, washing out to a pinkish hue in the sky a bit. I sketched the whole drawing with only one dip in the ink, and that pen left a nice line. It is another of my new glass dip pens. Last month, I was frustrated when I could not locate my other lovely dip pens - only the older, lesser ones were found. Since I was preparing for my exciting Inkvent Calendar, this was unacceptable! SO, I ordered nine new ones with different shapes and nibs, to both experiment with them AND ensure I wouldn't run out, lol! I'm sure I put my other ones somewhere safe during my lockdown time of organizing everything! It's so fun to try these new inks during the holidays - even if I didn't have time each day to get to them! Painting number 3266 in 3266 days.
