Description or "Beren and Lúthien II" or "Yay, I got golden ink and found a place to use it!"
Such things happen when I want to celebrate summer holidays and have new stuff (in this case, golden and brilliant green (looks more like frog green) ink)! As promised!
The description of Luthien as Beren sees her first in the Silmarillion:
"Blue was her raiment as the unclouded heaven, but her eyes were *thinks* *looks for original text* grey as the starlit evening; her mantle was sewn with golden flowers, but her hair was as dark as the shadows of twilight. [As the light upon the leaves of trees,] as the voice of clear waters, as the stars above the mists of the world, [such was her glory and her loveliness; and in her face was a shining light.]"
The first one in [] I forgot because I had written it in Tengwar so I wouldn't have to think about it... and there two lines began with "as the" and I acidentally missed the first one... and for the second [] there was no space.

I'm really proud of my nightingale!At least it looks like a bird. And of the elvish element at the bottom (even if it doesn't really fit). It was supposed to be three birds each side, but now there are many more (I know about five or six).
Just think I should practise thin lines and try to standardize the room between words. Oh, yes, and stop using so much gold

And if I get hands on a scanner, you'll get a better picture. Just couldn't wait to show it!

Material used: Watercolor paper A4, 200g/m², black, brilliant green and golden ink, watercolors

Wow! Your writing is so beautiful, did you use a paintbrush to write, or was it an ink pen?

Gesh, I'm so so sorry this reply is so late, I've basically not been on dA since uni started.
What I use is sort of a quill with interchangeable nib, with ink out of a jar. Nice and old-fashioned, and the method I'm most comfortable with, although I would like to try a brush some time.
Also thank you for the compliment!

Das sieht echt toll aus! So schön gleichmäßig geschrieben.
Und die Verzierung unten und die Nachtigall sind wunderschön.

Danke! Sowohl für die Komplimente als auch für den Bis jetzt ist es definitiv mein bestes und am meisten ausgearbeitetes Kalligraphie-Stück. Wobei ich ja grad an einem neuen arbeite, was noch um einiges komplizierter wird.

Thank you! the bird is my personal precious
It took about half an hour to sketch it out, and I have never tried to do something so small (3 cm square) with watercolor...
