sandstone,caramel,umber
forest pine,holly
spice,terracotta.burnt orange
also i have used the new fine nib on my promarkers for this image and i only used 1 nib.
you do not need to flush the nib out, just change it from one pen to the next and it will blend itself as it comes out.
when changing your colours to a new colour pallete just squiggle on some scrap paper until the new colour comes through,
you do not get any contamination on your bullet nib.
i have also found that your pen needs to be quite new for the fine tip to work, on some of my older well used ones it will not let the ink through :D
i cannot rave about these nibs enough , I LOVE THEM
thanks so much for popping by, means a lot.
also can i say a big thankyou for the ammount of visitors i have had today and yesterday, especially when i was unable to visit any of you back, thankyou :D
luv coops xx
