I've read I shouldn't mix inks, but I can't see why not. I can be in control of how much bleed I want. <br />Have fun!Elva Paulsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08642197019054496596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4222503441854374850.post-51025455796476074612014-11-05T08:51:27.051-06:002014-11-05T08:51:27.051-06:00I like Platinum Carbon too, Elva!

It's a little spend, but a bottle of ink goes a long way. <br />I keep two pens filled, one with this waterproof black and one with a black that bleeds. Often I want the bleed. If you go to my flickr.com site you'll find several greyscale drawings. Virtually all of these were done with water soluble ink. <br />https://www.flickr.com/photos/elvap/Elva Paulsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08642197019054496596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4222503441854374850.post-30602702186425667492014-11-04T11:45:10.581-06:002014-11-04T11:45:10.581-06:00I usually must use drybrush for my nature journals...I usually must use drybrush for my nature journals, but I would like to try ink and watercolor. I have a fountain pen but everytime I try to use watercolor on top of it, the ink runs. What kind of ink do you use?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11303321565579905170noreply@blogger.com
