Ink Art: Metallic Snowflakes Paintings
I made new snowflake art. This time I painted it on black paper. Black paper is ideal for making metallic looking paintings. Those colors just pop against a black background.

The paper and ink I used was made by pixiss. For the time being, I have been using the biggest paper. The bigger the paper, the more ink I have to use to...
