Brandy led to this enlightening discussion; https://bsky.app/profile/ellyrieve-lvk.co.uk/post/3lkjpflvxzs2w , which eventually prompted this Fabio style fan art of Elliot. The idea just would not leave me alone otherwise.

#ink #art #question

Would you recommend any additives to emulsify thin ink, or dilute-ink, dilute-acrylic paint, etc.?

That the ink might flow well on a dip pen nib, for instance.
(To turn thin watery pigment in to an emulsion which beads properly upon the nib.)

Would you suggest shellac, gum arabic, some kind of liquid gloss acrylic medium, or something else?

Thanks!
