Here’s a peek at my new print release "A Shroom With A View". For this watercolor and ink piece, I went back to using my Pilot Namiki Falcon fountain pen for the line work instead of the crow quill pen I have been using for awhile now. I had forgotten how much more fun and free flowing drawing with the fountain pen is! I switched to the crow quill years ago because I wanted to mix a blackish brown acrylic ink (which drys almost immediately) instead of the waterproof black ink in the fountain pen which I have to wait a day or so to dry before applying the watercolors to it...which is a real drag! And I can’t find a brown fountain pen ink to mix with the black that won’t bleed when the paint is applied. But not having to keep dipping the crow quill pen in the ink continuously is another real plus. I will be going back to my Namiki Falcon more often now. By the way...the original is available.
