Metallic Pen play
I picked up a 10 pack of the Sakura Gelly Roll Metallics recently and I had to try them all - at once. This picture doesn't do them justice. It's much prettier in person. I did this on a white tile and then used a brush and black ink to fill in the rest. This piece is OK but I'm going to keep playing with my pens. They write beautifully. The ink flows so nicely when you use a light touch.

I like the metallic pens too - as you say, a light touch is best. I really like the effect of the black ink on the tile. It almost looks like suede. You have given me new ideas again - thanks!
ReplyDeleteThe colors are all so vibrant. I will have to try these gel pens.
