Hi!

 

In the thread on Rome Burning I promised to do some drawings using this unique ink. I have still not found a way to use the effects of the ink (yellowish brown turns to lucid purplish blue when washed with water) in art composition in a successful way. The paper has to be put underwater, or under running water for this effect to take place. A standard waterwash with a brush isn't enough to initiate the colour-change. I used it in the drawing below without experimenting with this colour-change, it is the yellowish-brown colour.

 

Here is a Nightmare Cityscape inspired by the book Perdido Street Station by author China Miéville.

 

 

The inks are Rome Burning (yellow-brown), Burma Road Brown (brownish green), Diamine Damson (purple) and black (Noodlers and Pentel brush pen black). I also used waterwashes. The gray is Noodler's black. I do like a black that turns gray, not any other colour, when diluted (sic).

That's good stuff, Anachroneironaut

Nice and varied recent examples. Ewa, these are great!

Thank you very much for visiting my blog! I just realized The Love Letter is actually pen related, so here it is!

Hello Mattias! I love your work and sense of humor Are you using a waterproof ink with your fountain pen? What ink are you using?

Love,

Ewa

Here are another two fairies drawn with Waterman Hemisphere (EF). The ink is Havana Brown by Waterman. When you add water it turns a bit purple.

Hi, I'm rather new to FPN and thought I'd post a few pieces in the way of an introduction and say it's a pleasure to be aboard. (I love pens and ink. )

Hi, Earnest and welcome to FPN!

Gorgeous! Your talents with a flex nib really bring the mane to life. What a stunning "doodle"!!

Hi, Ewa,

 

Thanks for including the link to your blog in your wonderful fairies posted above. I've had such fun looking at your artwork. Your fairies have so much personality, they've practically burst off the page (screen). I can see why you love your new Sheaffer with the flex nib - you make it sing! What are some of your favourite inks to use for drawing? I love the effects you get with water. For example, I never saw Waterman Havannah Brown look so richly complex.

 

I'm glad you added Love Letter to this thread. It's one of my favourites on your blog.

 

Thanks for sharing!

 

All,the Best,

Gem

Hi Gem!!!

Thank you very much for taking the time to visit my blog! I don't have that many inks but here are some illustrations along with a short description...

 

J.Herbin Cacao du Bresil : I absolutely love this ink!!! I use it for drawing with my pen but I really love using it as a wash. The colour is beautiful! In this sketch I added some salt on the roof to see what happens and the ink got a bit more browny orangy rosy where the salt was.

J.Herbin Lie de The: I think I've already posted a drawing I made with this ink. It does the most amazing things if you splatter water on it. The wash turns orange green red and grey. The flow is sadly a bit dryer than Cacao and there is a bit more laddering...or maybe it's just my pen?

http://ewaludwi.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/waterspirit.jpg?w=500&h=757

 

J.Herbin Poussière de Lune: Beautiful colour and the flow is very, very nice! I used it for both sketches but the upper one is a photo so it's a bit darker and orangy...The scan shows the colour better.

http://ewaludwi.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/cemetery.jpg?w=500&h=666

 

Rohrer & Klingner Alt Bordeaux: The colour is very lovely and saturated and when dilluted with water (in the pen) it's a soft faded pink...maybe similar to Bouquet d'antan by Herbin.

http://ewaludwi.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/vine-fairy.jpg?w=500

 

Rohrer & Klingner Sepia: This ink is beautiful!!!! It reminds me of cacao du Bresil but it is warmer and the flow is even better!

http://ewaludwi.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/fae.jpg?w=500&h=722

 

Waterman Purple: I only use Waterman cartridges for my Hemisphere but I must say I prefer J. Herbin and Rohrer&Klingner inks...I found this purple a bit too light but the colour is nice I think

http://ewaludwi.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/water-baby-41.jpg?w=500

 

Well that's all for now....I still have Königsblau by R&K which I haven't tried yet, Perle Noire by Herbin which I love but I haven't done any sketches with it yet and some Waterman cartdriges (Green, Florida Blue and Black...and Havanna) but these are my favourites so far

 

I hope you like it!

Ewa
