MORNING JOLT AT TURBINE NUMBER FOUR
(pay no attention to the man with the crank)

| Day 7 |
I found some old unopened ink bottles and tried painting with the inks, which included the blue squiggles on the above collage. I was pretty happy with how easily the ink covered and how quickly it dried. My other experiment compared how the ink looked when applied in different ways to a cold press watercolor paper and to another paper with a smooth surface, and what happened when I drew lines across the dried ink with different pens. I'm not sure what the smooth paper is, but I like the results enough that I want to get some hot press watercolor paper and some more colored inks to play with.

Another color combination I don't normally think about using: hot pink & bright yellow.
