Week 2 Highlights

If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I’m an art journal enthusiast—it’s a great way to experiment and develop your drawing skills—so I was thrilled to see drawings and sketches using an array of lovely inks. In addition, I finally got the opportunity to use one of my favorite pens (Noodler’s Ahab in Pima Tortoise) along with one of my favorite nibs (Goulet’s 1.5mm italic) to really explore the brilliance and chameleon qualities of the Diamine Shimmertastic line of inks. Below are some of the highlights from week 2:
