I was playing around in my art journal and came up with an idea of sketching pumpkins using my paint colors that I would mix on my own. Once I painted my watercolor pumpkins, I had a brilliant idea of sketching another set of pumpkins using my fountain pen inks.
The larger pumpkins were created using my watercolor paints. The smaller pumpkins I created using my fountain pens and inks.
It wasn’t too hard to figure out which fountain pen ink would match my orange pumpkin.
Steel Days was a decent match with my teal pumpkin.
For a purple ink color, my go to inky color is Sydney Lavender. This lovely color has a lot of personality. If you enjoy creating pen & ink washes as much as I do (poking my workshop attendees), I would definitely get this lovely purple ink color.
Watercolor Paints: Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolors (I forgot to document the color mixes)
Inks: My pumpkins were created using Vinta Inks Damili and Robert Oster Steely Days and Sydney Lavender. For my writing I used Dominant Industry Autumn Forest.
