This is the second 18\u201dx12\u201d painting I\u2019ve done lately, which is big for me. I drew\/painted theses two ponies on Terraskin mineral paper <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Using India ink has been eye opening. It\u2019s lightfast, permanent, and waterproof. It\u2019s available in many colors, and it\u2019s mostly transparent. It can be a stick, liquid in a bottle, or markers. I guess I never thought about how perfect it is as a medium. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This little fawn is on Ampersand Claybord. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I think it creates beautiful, glowing colors. Unlike watercolor, I don\u2019t overmix and create mud. I wanted to add a little opacity as well as some white here and there, however, so I bought a bottle of Dr. Martins\u2019s Bombay white. That, along with the few dozen Faber-Castell Pitt Brush Pens should hold me for awhile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I sketched this pony very quickly and liked it so much that I completed the larger one above the next night. The second one is more true to the photo I took. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve learned to work from light to dark as once the ink is down, it\u2019s not possible to lift it unless working on a surface like Claybord or Duralar. I\u2019ve also learned to use washes and glazes. I don\u2019t quite know how such an art supply fiend like me has managed to miss ink as a medium all these years. I\u2019m pleased I finally found it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
