Today was an educational experience, that's for sure. I was painting with ink for the first time, and it was a very different animal than the watercolors I'm used to. And I realized very quickly that I should have played with the ink in my sketchbook before I jumped right into my watercolor planner!

While this crash course in ink was a bit of a surprise, I don't regret it at all! If anything, it's got me all excited to mess around with my new bottle of ink and see what cool things it can do. Besides, it gave me an excuse to use my brand new Signo gel pen, which is pretty neat! I don't know if you've noticed, but I really enjoy writing my plans for the day in white gel pen on a dark background. It looks so much fancier than plain old black pen!
