I have a dumb question. What is India ink? I have heard of it before, but I've never known what makes it special

JessicaDru In reply to KoontzPhotography [2007-11-02 06:58:05 +0000 UTC]

i use it because it's the easiest to find calligraphy ink for the "quill" pens. but when it dries it's also waterproof so that i can do all the watercolor craziness on top. because it doesn't bleed at all, it has a very special place in my heart.

That's really cool. I wish I had lots of money to spend on testing out new art projects and tools etc

A print would be lovely, I think.

And I might just try it soon if I find the time.

Nice watercolors!
I don't know what your source material for this was, but you did a good job of replicating it.
This appears to be a 19th Century show girl.
The corset and the feathers might indicate she was a French performer.
But again, you did some nice watercolor work here.
