Week #38 / 17 Sep: Inkuinox #2 - 2017 Weekly Ink Project

[lgsoltek]

Autumn/spring equinox falls on the 23rd this week. Celebrate spring or autumn with an ink of your choice.

As usual, don't forget to share with us your choice of ink, your writing, drawing, doodling or anything with the ink in this thread. You can take a photo, make a scan, or even better, write letters and CRV reviews (what is a CRV?) and mail them to the many ink pals here. You are welcome to check back on this thread even when we've gone past this week.

Flipping heck this is beautifully abstract

[amberleadavis]

I like it.

[UDog]

Looks something like a Miro.

[lgsoltek]

It reminds me of a game I played some ten years ago: Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.

 

The portals to Oblivion look like this:

Very cool, and very bright!

I'm going with a stereotypical autumn colour: brownish orange:

 

 

 

Here's an attempt at drawing...

Actually I did half of it, wetted it with more ink, then folded the paper, retouched some lines on the other half. That's why there's different shades of orange.

Well done! I like the painterly effect.

Following the thinking of others, I will go with a perfectly clichéd color to celebrate the Inkquinox: Diamine's Pumpkin. [it's in my contract as "HalloweenHJB" to use Halloween-themed colors wherever possible... ]

When I see this ink I kind of automatically associates it with you!

My submission this week, Diamine's Golden Brown.

I did originally try a sketch with Iroshizuku Ina Ho but it came out waay too dark when splattered or brushed on. In fact, I think I actually prefer the colour of Golden Brown. It is a little dry but my old toothbrush didn't mind.

Ink: Diamine Golden Brown (toothbrush splatter), Quink Black Solv-X in my trusty Namiki Falcon - nib used upside down to create Silver Birch markings.

Paper: Cass Art Watercolour 300gsm. - note to self, line up the "grain" of the paper in future . . . .

Stunning, Tas! I'm in awe of what you can do with Falcon nib upside down. Me I could only make ink swabs with it. How does that toothbrush splatter work?

Thank you. I'm in awe of your handwriting

I love an upside down nib, magic often happens when precision is avoided.

 

Toothbrush splatter . . . dip into ink, splatter onto paper with thumb, clean up desk and keyboard , attempt to wash ink off thumb

One of my absolute favorites of your work, and that is saying quite a lot.

AWE! Award

You really showed off the range that is possible with this ink. Thank you!

Love this so much!
