Today, I have tried my hand at a pen and wash technique which was part of the "A Year Of Wild Nature - Taster Event" on Facebook. This taster was tutored by Toni Burt and is called "Mystical Botanicals".
In my piece, I didn't have black ink, so used blue Quink Ink in a fountain pen instead. I broke off a couple of pieces of honeysuckle from the bush in the garden and used those as my reference point.
I wasn't really sure what extra colour ink to use, so opted for "Peacock Feathers" Distress Oxide Ink as blues and greens are my favourite. Splattering some white Dr Ph. Martins Bleed Proof paint over the surface.
Once I got to grips with the fountain pen, I really enjoyed the process. I will likely try something similar in the future.
