I should really be getting on with other stuff, but I’m easily distracted… So here’s the word we all like to write most. Ink is Diamine Brandy Dazzle.

19. three stroke letters

#acrylicpaintnib

rev. queen of pentacles

unwater of earth, manifestation of all stages of the cycle of water.

Following on the page from 18., some new colors have entered the mix.

My question now is, if acrylic paint is one step away from being awkward ink, is a nib therefore the most excellent small round brush? Is a nib the best painting tool for details? Will I make a second pen set reserved for oil paints?

17. what would you do with the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow?

#acrylicpaintnib

rev. 8 of wands
A lot of solar plexus.

This was trying some colors out. The drab purple mix I have been working with, a primary blue, and a quinacridone crimson. Both were just mixed with distilled water in their own containers, and applied with dip nib.

Sorry there have not been enough goblins lately.

#ink #art #question

Would you recommend any additives to emulsify thin ink, or dilute-ink, dilute-acrylic paint, etc.?

That the ink might flow well on a dip pen nib, for instance.
(To turn thin watery pigment in to an emulsion which beads properly upon the nib.)

Would you suggest shellac, gum arabic, some kind of liquid gloss acrylic medium, or something else?

Thanks!

13. what is your favorite kind of weather?

This india ink is not as thick as some, and feathers on thin paper. On this cardstock it looks okay!

India inks and acrylic inks both use pigment (vs dyes), for added lightfastness and permanence, as well as greatly increased archival lifespan when decently kept.
Shellac is typically in india inks, while acrylic inks use acrylic binders, I think.
Thick shellac ink would not be good in a fountain pen.

rev. 5 of wands
king of pentacles
Dodged strife and imagery of a bird, and agriculture themes repeated from previous draws, perhaps.

This is acrylic paint and distilled water!
(and some watercolor crust. Don't worry about it...)

I don't think I've used a dip pen with acrylic paint so successfully before!
