Brandy led to this enlightening discussion; https://bsky.app/profile/ellyrieve-lvk.co.uk/post/3lkjpflvxzs2w , which eventually prompted this Fabio style fan art of Elliot. The idea just would not leave me alone otherwise.

Materials;
Two Pentel brush pens eyedropper-ed with Diamine Inks.
Tintoretto synthetic mop 1407 brush 5/0
Strathmore Bristol 400 series 9x12

Inks;
Diamine Aurora Borealis
Diamine (Cult exclusive) Sand between your toes
Diamine (Cult exclusive) Lime Ice lolly
Diamine Pumpkin
Diamine (Cult exclusive) Summer Sunset
Diamine Oxblood.

#ink #art #question

Would you recommend any additives to emulsify thin ink, or dilute-ink, dilute-acrylic paint, etc.?

That the ink might flow well on a dip pen nib, for instance.
(To turn thin watery pigment in to an emulsion which beads properly upon the nib.)

Would you suggest shellac, gum arabic, some kind of liquid gloss acrylic medium, or something else?

Thanks!
