Ink on paper. The topic of the day was "spell"

For day 27 I made a very diluted India ink wash and painted a cityscape at night with white ink over it. I like how it turned out! Naïve and quirky.

Last year was a lot of fun.

Inktober 2018 – Day 19: Another day, another job Made with inks Faber Castell on A6 paper

WHALE was one of the topics for Inktober 2018

The idea for this portrait came to me when I was looking at a packaging of soap - it was very glossy and it looked like it could look like pearls. As well as the soap packaging, I used white ink mixed with acrylic paint (for opacity) on black paper.

Quick pattern made with white ink on black paper. It reminds me of the texture of a feather

For Inktober 25, I played around with a rainbow rubber stamp and markers. Simple but it was a lot of fun! And isn't Inktober all about experimentation and practise?
