Hello all,
Am going to attempt an illuminated letter on real parchment. I am a raw beginner.
So, my question right now is, for outlining my figures and artwork-(line drawing?), I need colored, lightfast inks.
1) Can I just dilute the gouache enough to make it runny so that it accomplishes the task?
2) There are some inks that are guaranteed to be lightfast.....what if those are a little off-color to my main color in my work, whether I am outlining a symbol, a plain figure of a peasant, or something else? Would any difference in color between the body and outlining matter?
3) Anyone have any advice on a particular ink?
My temptation is to buy a set off Amazon of colored lightfast inks and just go at it......
Thanks for any input
David
