This kind of art is what I've been wanting to do for a long time. It is pen and ink and watercolor. I had to get the right kind of ink -- found some waterproof ink called Noodlers. And I got myself a LAMY refillable fountain pen and converter (which you need to put new ink into the pen). My favorite illustrator, Quentin Blake, uses waterproof ink with a real fountain pen (meaning he dips it in the ink and draws). I couldn't do this. I couldn't control the ink well enough.
I love using a fountain pen, but I needed one like my LAMY that has the ink right inside it.
I love it!
So above is the drawing/painting I did. It didn't scan the best -- it got fuzzy on the right side, but it real life it is crystal clear. I'm going to frame it later and put it in an art show.
No, it isn't some classical piece, but it's fun and it makes me smile. And I am guessing some cat lover somewhere will love it.
