@Andrew_L, it's wonderful.  Monteverde Moonstone is one of my favorite inks, and  I can't believe you got such line variation from a Pelikan B nib.

[Andrew_L]

@Sailor Kenshin Thanks. Not B, it's new (or reborn) IB (Italic Bold) and me helped a lot the reverse side with a semi-dry flow.

The most famous writer and poet of Ukraine – “Kobzar” Taras Hryhorovych Shevchenko. He was a man of universal gifts and interests. His entire life and work were dedicated to the Ukrainian people. The poet dreamed of the times when his country would be an independent sovereign state, when the language, culture and history of the people would be respected in Ukraine, and people would be happy. (Drawn from a famous photo of 1859)

Stellar work as usual, Andrew_L!  

Of course now you're making me realize I haven't used MB Lavender Purple in a while (is Amethyst Purple a different ink?)

[Andrew_L]

Thank you!

I don't have any Montblanc inks other than black and blue so it's hard for me to say, but according to an answer on FPGeek, Lavender was replaced by Amethyst several years ago. Those who tried both write that

Quote

 

"Lavender Purple is as far as I know replaced by Amethyst Purple.

Not the same color but similar. ".

 

 

ps: Judging by the samples on the Internet (can you trust them?), Amethyst has more red tint in violet, and Lavender has more blue tint in violet.

Unfortunately, there was not enough ink for one more portrait, only for 3/4 of the work, so, to finish the portrait, I had to make a mix similar in color for finish. For mixing I chose Diamine Bilberry and Diamine Matador.

 

Lina Kostenko – a living legend. Her works are studied in schools and universities. Despite such popularity, the poetess does not like excessive attention to herself. She even refused the title of Hero of Ukraine, says that she is just doing her job, because the main desire of a writer is to write.

“Do not measure or weigh who loves more and who loves less, because these things cannot be weighed because there are no known measures, mathematics is inappropriate here. Don’t measure and weigh, and don’t plan how to live, just live now, love as much as you can and how you can! Then there will be less regret.” - Lesya Ukrainka

You Know How the Linden Tree Whispers ...

 

You know how the linden tree whispers
In the springtime, at night, by the light of the moon?
My love sleeps, my love sleeps,
Let’s go and wake her up, kiss her eyes.
My love sleeps ...
You heard because of the way the linden tree whispers.
Do you know how the old grove sleeps?
It sees everything, even through the fog.
Here is the moon, here are the stars, the nightingales...
"I am yours," overheard the old grove.
And those nightingales ...
Well] You already know, how the old grove sleeps!

 

Pavlo Tychyna
