Ink Art: Pansy and Fruit Still Life Valentines Day

Written by Teresita Blanco (The Artsy Sister)

I made new ink art. It is themed after Valentine’s Day. I used the round paper and my black paper.

The still life features the last black paper that I own.

The ink and paint were made by pixiss. I have gotten a lot of milage out of a 25-ink set and some paper.

I tend to think out the paint by adding rubbing alcohol.

This makes them last longer. It also helps not to apply too much paint at once. I also took photos of the wet and dry version of the paintings.

I photographed the painting details. Now, I am going to talk about the paintings in specific.

The first one features a couple of Pansies. Pansies represents the thoughts of a lover.

If you get one as a gift, it means that your lover is thinking about you.

The center pansy is red and gold. I filled up the rest with other colors. I think it came out alright.

The second painting is a still life. I started by spraying white ink in the background.

I then drew the shapes of the fruits I wanted to paint with white ink.

I need to add a bit of white ink for the colored inks to be visible.

I painted the melons, oranges and strawberries next.

They are all fruits with a romantic meaning.

So, it is a Valentine’s Day themed ink art.

This is about it as far as my paintings are concerned.
