Creative...playing with some Kuratake brush pens...I chose 3 colours at random, and just scribbled a bit...this was on cartridge paper. I'll try something similar on Bristol Board tomorrow...which is smoother and less absorbent. I also found out you cannot add water to the paper once you have laid the ink down, which is what I was expecting to do (because I could do with my very old 25-30 year old Kuratake brush pens, which still work and I still use), but the picture shows you can dip these coloured brush pens in water to get a more faded line wash. The problem with this, is that the water you dip the coloured brush pen in leaches the paint out of the brush pen, and in addition ( but it might not do it with this new brush pen because it is a solid barrel that holds the ink, whereas my old Kuratake brush pens were a squeezy barrel and sucked up water if you squoze slightly, then it intakes water, thus diluting the intense colours of the ink).
Okay, that is more than you wanted to know, 5 minutes you won't get back in your life...but important to me!


Have your best kind of day...
Take care.
24C in my garden.
None of the promised all day rain, so I hurriedly washed a load of washing and got it out. It's now dry. My garden thermometer gone up another couple points, so I am going to wash another load and get that out. ....

So byeee...

EDIT The temperature outside the bungalow and the temperature inside the bungalow are exactly the same...
24C
So, at what point do I close my doors and windows?
The sweat is running off my face. I keep doing a little odd job, then it's me collapsed on the bed again...it's now 3:30 pm...surely it has got to get cooler outside...
