Nothing makes me fee morel part of a multicultural society than hearing the parakeets squawking overhead. Once on an evening walk I counted over 80 parakeets gorging themselves in a sycamore tree which also is a non native tree from Western Asia!
Since finding out that a lot of coloured inks for drawing contain shellac, I switched to FW Daler Rowney acrylic inks that blend nicely with watercolour, here I experimented with the gold acrylic and I’m loving how shimmery it stays even when dried on watercolour paper.
