June: Warm Vs Cold - 2018 Monthly Ink Combo Project

[lgsoltek]

Season changes. It's getting hotter or colder depending on where you live. For June, pick a combination of warm and cold colours.

This is my entry... I am not happy with this one, so may try another one later in the month. (I had trouble getting a half reasonable photo.)

Nice entry, although I too don't care much for that grey... but the chocolate brown reminded me I have a 30ml bottle of that somewhere...

Here where we don't do winter, June represents the height of the windy season, I'll have to think up a combination to show it off....

Luckily cold weather is not necessary to enjoy chocolate, although this time of year I prefer it as icecream...

[EBGBs]

Damn, Diamine Chocolate Brown looks so good. And Fuyu-Syogun looks better here than I remembered it.

 

There is no winter where I am either. I can't say I miss it much, except reading (or playing with the cat at 'who's gonna fall asleep first') by the fire indeed.

Interesting that Noihvo and Newjelan both picked a red brown as warm colour!

My June choices are here:

 

 

And yes, I do like when the ink color complements the pen color. I'm funny that way...

...and with this, I'm all caught up! Whew! These have been really fun to do. Big props to Lg for organizing everything!

Great choice of colors, and a wonderful presentation!

I love these monthly challenges

My own ink choices are traditional this time ... autumn leave orange and cold night sky blue. These are represented by Diamine Autumn Oak and Papier Plume Bayou Nightfall.

That looks MAJESTIC!

That's totally your kind of colours! And gorgeous drawing! How did you make those lighter white cloud-ish/fluffy effects?

[lgsoltek]

For the cold colour, I'm using a rather banal royal blue: Seitz Kreuznach Pacific Blue.

For the warm colour, a fairly new ink and a nice surprise: J. Herbin Rouge Grenat. It's a gorgeous and rich dark red. It's so saturated, so smooth. It's not like a J. Herbin ink at all (which is a good thing IMO).

(swabs on Midori MD)

 

 

(on Canson watercolour paper, and a lot of water)

 

 

(a Clairefontaine copy paper that covered the previous Canson paper while wet)

Wow! "Trippy" as we say in the States. Reminds me of a lava lamp...

Interesting that in the written exemplar Rouge Grenat is very much a rusty color -- but in the artwork, diluted, there's a LOT of rosy pink and some violet.

Saturate a piece of cotton string with ink, curl it up between two pages of paper, put a book on top of the pages putting pressure on them, and pull the string out. You’re guaranteed to get some nice-looking effects.

Oh, I've been doing the same thing recently, but I didn't get that "fluffy" effect like yours. I get things like this:

 

 

Maybe my string is not thick and wet enough?

[mhguda]

Also very nice!

I'm really enjoying the colors and the artwork that appear in these monthly ink combo threads. I always have good intentions of posting something. Usually I daydream about combos, but don't execute my ideas. I'll have to make something to post sometime soon.
