l''attaque des oiseaux

not all bird attacks are good

a new pen, a 'pen & ink' extra-fine fountain pen, which i wanetd to try out. Using India Black ink (of the same brand), it was interesting, and gave me a lot of control, though the black was not quite as black as in my preferred micron pigma ink. Also, it said that the ink does not bleed with a wash; well, it kind of did, a bit. Oh the edges didn't, they stayed sharp as anything, but the ink itself did muddy the watercolour (which is why i used yellow in this experiment, to see). Yes it's given it a different sort of effect but not quite what i was going for when i mixed the yellow; i waited long enough for the ink to dry though. I liked the pen a lot though, so I'm not ready to cocknify my assessment by saying it don't 'arf pen an' ink. I'll leave that to when I get that ink all over myself one day (as is bound to happen). 

The picture? Speaks for itself. Cave art.

Wow, Pete. This one certainly speaks for itself, and it speaks to me. I love this one. I don't know how I missed the original post, but I've just discovered it. Well done!
