My response for Daisy Yellow's Friday prompt, Green.
I have wicked deadlines right now, snapping at my heels like wolves, so this was very much a quickie. I started by wetting a sketchbook page with water, then dropped some Herbin Vert Olive ink onto the wet paper directly from my pen. After it dried, I sketched the house with white gel pen, filled in a bit with the fountain pen itself and and sketching crayons.
I'm surprised at how insubstantial it looks, as though it might fade away completely, or come and go like a phantom house.

i would never have guessed this was a quick job.
I love how the green ink separates into yellows near the edges. Did that happen naturally, or did you use other colors?
for ink, I just used the one color - it just separated out on its own. It really was a very quick job, other than waiting for the ink to dry!
Oh how lovely!
I am going to look up that ink now. Also the sketching in white looks great, I would not have thought to do that!
Brilliant combination of materials, Sophie. Wish I could say I created something like this quickly!
thank you - yes it was fun - you should try it too and see how easy it is!
Quicky or not, I think it's fabulouse!
