Continuing with the cowboys from the last post, I wanted to make some experiments using non-waterproof Ink for a change to see how it looked with a controlled wash of watercolour or just water. I usually stick to waterproof inks which do not run with a wash and the results can be fairly predictable. This ink will run and offers a less defined line,which when washed, will spread and mix with other colours altering form and feel.
I enjoyed doing this and will try using it again in future posts.
