Ink Carnations

Carnations last for an awfully long time. I bought these at the beinning of the week for an acrylics commission (due to be given as a gift, so I haven't posted it yet), and have painted them a few more times in acrylic as well. But today I decided to try something different...

I used calligraphy inks with a dip pen (mainly for the convenience of changing colours readily). I have three bottles of ink: sepia, indigo, and Indian Red.With a generous helping of water on a size 22 round brush, these are what resulted.
