Painting in ink on newsprint is one of my favourite pastimes.

The paper is a little unforgiving, and the ink doesn’t dry fast enough for my liking, but it’s not bad all the same. I use Artist Spectrum ink and also a big bottle of Indian ink of unknown origin. Well, I know it’s India, but I don’t think it was made there. The label came off the bottle which suggests the ink isn’t the best quality, but I like it and it’s plentiful. I’ve had the bottle since 2015 because I dilute it with tap water.
