ALCOHOL INK & MICRON PEN
When I lived near the beach in Florence, Oregon, I spent many wonderful hours enjoying the Pacific Ocean, beaches, and dunes. Florence is well known for the acres of beautiful Sand Dunes that people love, as well as the Wild Rhododendrons that line the highways and fill the forests...a spectacular nature discovery for me. I miss it...:) ♥

I drove all around within the Painted Desert during the 60's...If you have never done that and if it is still permitted...do try to see this beautiful sight. I'll never forget the colors. You see very little of it going by on the highway these days....:) ♥

ALCOHOL INK QUICKIE THISTLES EXPERIMENT
This is done with ALCOHOL INK & PENCIL on YUPO PAPER...no pen here.
Just wanted to see if A.I. would work with pencil...so it was a very quick sketch with the AI applied with a brush....I could never get the true THISTLE GLOW color with Watercolor...but it works with AI.
The whole thing took less than 30 minutes..from sketch to A.I. For me, it is good to do some of these ''quickies'' to help me loosen up...the pencil was a #2 PaperMate Sharpwriter...and the Yupo paper really made it softer/darker even... I drew it first and then kinda ''slopped on'' the AI...
