Jacques Herbin Ink - Opportunities


I bought this Jacques Herbin Ink in 2023 and didn't like it very much... (and they were not cheap). So it landed in my drawer till now. I decided to make w/c backgrounds with it to at least finally try to use it up. (Kyanite du Nepal, Cornaline d'Egypte, Emeraude de Chivor.) Interesting names - basically a blue, orange and emerald. The emerald DOES NOT look like a green, more a turquoise/aqua color. The orange mixed with the blue or the Emerald seems to make a nice olivey color so maybe I'll mix some in a smaller container...
Sorry the bottom color should be more greenish blue...
size: 12"w x 8.5"h
On Canson Mixed Media paper I scratched into the wet painted areas with the end of a paint brush and let dry. Text written with a pointed pen in a script style.

Scribbled Lives wk 21 - Cow Girls - Good Girls


Scribbled Lives Wk 21 - Cow Girls
size: 7" sq
On Canson Mixed Media paper wrote out some words (Madagascar - Fontstruct.com) and a basic monoline for the rest using a Juice Up pen.

Painted the interiors with a very diluted mix of Jacques Herbin inks (Emeraude de Chivor and Cornaline d'Egypte) both have some metallic mixture in them... more so the Cornaline and very little in the Emeraude - sigh. Not very happy with these inks and they weren't cheap... The metallic did not show up at all.

words: Good girls are made of sugar and spice cowgirls are made of whiskey on ice.
