I've been abusing my current collection of inks on another thread. But having decided that 50+ samples wasn't enough, I've bought more samples and will subject them to similar misery - water and Las Vegas sunlight. I won't start the experiment until this weekend when I have expensive (child) labor so if you want to see anything special, post your requests here.

This looks like a very interesting experiment, however, the images are way too large to load on this old computer. :(

Thank you for telling me. I'm in the process of fixing that now. I didn't upload the new pics yet.

I've reuploaded and hopefully that helped.

To best explain, I took all of the colors (and I added some from my prior experiment. I used a Speedball C-4 nib for each ink. The paper is an acid free / lignin free inkjet compatible business card stock. If any of the inks look "too wet" - blame the user not the ink. I will complain about these dip pens later. Once I had the ink on the pen, I wrote the ink name on two cards and doodled all around.

 

After all of the inks were dry, I took a wet brush and ran it across a single line.

Once the first wash dried, I used a really wet brush and attempted to paint the bottom doodle with water.

So, here are the first rounds after some exposure to water....

Ahh, much better now, thank you!

 

I look forward to seeing how some of those colors hold up.

 

 

P.S. I like your BSB + CCC mixes.

The Baystate colors are changing quickly. They are still pretty. The Visconti mixes are also changing. In my other ones, they don't completely disappear, but they do change.

I found this to be interesting. The gel highlights are completely gone. The crayons kids marker is doing almost well as the sharpie.
