As I currently have no painting commissions and needed an escape from the general horror of life at the moment, I decided to paint bear 151 Walker using walnut ink. Walnut ink is both good and bad to use. On the one hand, it can be lifted from the paper when re-wetted, which makes altering slight mistakes easy. On the other hand. it is very hard to get the depth of colour needed in some spots, even with countless applications. So for the nose and eyes and a few areas of shading, I had to bring in a couple of Inktense pigment sticks in dark brown and black. Hopefully they do not look out of place.
This will be for sale in my Etsy shop shortly.
