Autumn colour at Sneyd Park Lodge, Bristol. Carolyn Lamb 2015. Brusho ink on Sennelier Dessin paper. This is not a true zen painting other than I drew it in black first and used the colours from the Zen ink course.
Attended a Zen Ink Painting course with Elda Abramson in October. Seeing and observing without judging. Look at the object, draw your object in Quink ink without looking at your paper, then paint your image with colours without looking back to the object. She uses Brusho ink colours which I had not come across before. You apply in layers.
Manufacturers Colourcraft (colours and adhesives) Ltd. describe them as: A unique, transparent, highly pigmented water-colour ink powders giving wonderful bursts of colour when used, exclusively manufactured by us at our factory in Sheffield. Brusho® crystal colour offers a very good degree of light fastness. Inevitable I bought a set of the paints (what not more paint) as the colours are great, but I can't pin down details about how much a 'good degree of lightfastness is' so I have painted them out to do my own light fading tests. Great colours which fade would lead to disappointment .
