Watercolor & Acrylic Ink in Moleskin Sketchbook

Hi,

How has your day been? I hope you are having better weather then we are in the DC area. All I can say is that I am tired of the gray clouds and down pours of rain. Today we received a real gully washer, with water starting to back up into my patio because the drains could not divert the water fast enough. My plants are waterlogged and look beaten down some, I am hoping for sunny days.

Today was also the first time to use some acrylic ink I got last month. I used a crow-quill pin to draw with it and so far I like it. Though it would probably read a better if I had waited for the watercolor paper to dry 100% before drawing with the ink. I was just too impatient to wait.

If you have a chance be sure to visit the echoes flickr group, there are some wonderful and inspiring summer images shared there.

Have a good day, Liz

Good morning,

Through the summer I am going to keep a journal of all things that represent the season. This is in collaboration with the echoes Flickr group. Echoes is a blog by four talented mixed media artists, Heather, Emily, Alicia, and Rachel.

I am looking forward to the summer and all it will bring.
