FPN's PEN ART GALLERY


Titivillus

Recommended Posts

Tried out some watercoloring with ink today. Hm, haven't used watercolors in more than 20 years, I guess.

Painted a landscape with a hot air balloon which was inspired by an old photo I took during a school trip to Bielefeld, Germany, during the late 80's.

The second one is a dragon's eye I painted with the excess inks of the first painting.

I used some "Lotte" (Rohrer & Klingner) for the balloon, Pelikan 4001 black, J.Herbin "Rouge Opera", "Ambre de Birmanie" and "Lierre Sauvage" for the sky and landscape.

@Astronymus That hot air balloon looks very appealing (though in reality I am terrified of heights, hahaha), and the dragon eye is also quite beautiful. Was there actual watercolors involved as well, or just painting with ink? Just out of curiosity.

 

Decided to do a still life

This reminds me of something I used to see years ago when I lived near a place that had hot air balloon flights in late afternoons, approaching sunset, on summer days.

@squirrels Thank you. Just ink and water involved.

Very nice still life. Reminds me that I might gonna need reading glasses soon. I had problems drawing the balloon. 😵

 

@Catpaws The inks were quite well behaved and mixed into the color I wanted. I wanted it more intense than the photograph. 🖌️

So here is another duck. It is mostly pen and ink with a little bit of watercolor.  Inks are Noodler's BP Black and Kiowa Pecan and Kaweco Smokey Grey. Pens are Airmail 58c, Nib Creaper, Ahab,  and a Pilot Kakuno. 

 

I have been trying to match my pens to the inks that perform best.

I love your avatar

I posted the full drawing a few pages ago, if you're interested. Or look at it under a UV flashlight (not a very good one, though).

 

Really glad to see all of the activity here recently :)
