Quink Ink

The ink has worked well, Mia and it is very graceful too!

Yes, I like the colour changes and the delicacy of your drawing, as always. But now, look here young Mia - what I really want to see you do is brush or nib drawings and paintings in Chinese or India ink, which will last for decades, centuries, just about forever, as they deserve to. You can use brushes and plain water with a Chinese ink stone, you can dilute India ink, and your great, great, great grandchildren will still be able to see them. Now, I'm not one to insist ..... I'm a reasonable man, I hope.... but come on: use really permanent ink, you can get gorgeous effects with it, every bit as good and even better than you'll get with Quink, and I'm quite sure you'd be a total master at using it.

Beautiful Mia.

Beautifully done Mia.

Thank you all very much for your positive and nice comments. I appreciate. Robert, I see your comment as a challenge and a super compliment about my work. For the moment I am looking for my nib pens and Chinese ink, so look out for my coming postings! It is not that I don’t want to use them, I am just a bit lazy: markers are so much easier to work with!

Thank you very much Spencer.

Many thanks Glennis.

Thank you very much Romila.

This time I made a pen and wash of the anemone, using my waterproof pen and I gave it a wash with Quink Ink. I rather like the colour changes of the ink. What do you think? Size A4. All comments are very welcome :) Mia
