Black and White Ink 2
Hi All,
Normally my "inks" are in bright colors. sometimes, however, the black and white version works better for me. This is water soluble suminagashi ink in water. I use this ink because of the very reason these images sometimes get constructive criticism about focus. That is that the ink is dissolving rapidly into the water and therefore has a soft, ephemeral and surreal look. The inks are dropped in at different rates and through an oil barrier which provides some control. Then I flip the final image.
I'm posting two separately because they are so different. Just mentioning as I don't usually rapid fire post. 😁
Feedback always welcome!

Love this one, Ruth! Typically, you've caught it at a dramatic, evocative shape and composed it well. I like that inner glow. It reminds me of clouds, nuclear explosions, and Donald Duck - covers all the bases, really, doesn't that? ;-) Nice job, and good to see you doin' yo' thang! Keep doing! My Ruth Carll FS folder keeps growing.
Incidentally, is it white ink, or a mono conversion? There seem to be hints of colour. Although his bill isn't orange.
It is white ink with a little heavy cream for bulk! I definitely need to get back into these inks. I miss them.
Superb image Ruth. The lighting is spot on, highlighting the depth and form.
This is definitely uniquely Ruth.
