Week #39 / 24 Sep: Undiluted Love - 2017 Weekly Ink Project

[lgsoltek]

This week, use the least saturated ink in your collection.

 

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.

Next week: Arigato, Ishimaru

Totally with you on this. Unusable for me as a writing ink . . . but WONDERFUL to wash over sketched lines with

"meh"!? Blasphemy! (I love that color, including its washed-out-ness.)

It's just like a slightly darker version of Seitz Kreuznach Tundra Green (which I hate)...

This is not even worth being called an "ink"...

Tried this during Pelikan Hub the other day. It's an okay royal blue but nothing special.

I no longer own Fuyu Syogun otherwise I'd have added it here.

I do like desaturated inks. I find them easier on my eyes but they must leave some kind of legible line behind from a fine nib.

For that reason, I really like Platinum's no nonsense Blue Black and will add a bottle to the drawer when my cartridges run out.

Er, nice blank page, @Tas. Did you draw those two little circles or are they holes punched into the paper?

Drew the whole page, holes 'n'all.

 

A slight homage to Agnes Martin's "Rose" 1966 - I will never forget the look of utter disbelief on my entire family's faces when they stood in front of it in the Peggy Guggenheim Musem, Venice.

I had an art professor who painted a 3" white border around a spot on the concrete floor where there were a bunch of paint stains and smears. And then signed and dated it on the border.

For all I know, that's still there in the classroom/studio.... Although I can't guarantee about the signature, since I'm pretty sure he used a ballpoint pen....

I really like stories like this. Good on them.

This reminds me of John Cage's famous 4'33''

I took photos of a performance of that piece at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music & Dance - proper bonkers. Loved it.
