Thanks! I have been playing around with mixing colored inks with black ink, spraying with water and letting them "bleed". Once dry, layering watercolor and gouache on top. I'm interested in quick, immediate linework, at least at the moment :) By the way, I visited your website and really enjoy your paintings! @zom18
@zom18 I draw with fountain pens and I use Noodler's Ink fountain pen ink brand. I mix a waterproof black with a red that isn't. After I draw the image and it dries, I hit it with some water. The red bleeds out of the black. It has a bit of a softening effect on the line.
I took my Cultural Safari sketchbook class to the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art today. My sketch of The Virgin and Child, ca. 1350, France, Limestone Sculpture.

Currently exploring image making with fountain pens: immediate mark making, no pencil, no eraser. I'm enjoying the discovery process and embracing the stray mark made with semi-blind contour and continuous line drawings.
