These are great, thanks for sharing your experience. It looks like you are learning a lot and so interesting to find out more about residency programs, such as these. It would be nice to hear your final thoughts on the program when you're finished! Thanks again!!

@Aleksey I really like the look of this wash. I bought a package of colored inks and had been thinking I might try doing some line and wash with them but hadn't gotten around to it. You have inspired me to give it a try.

@demotlj yeah I had like no clue what i was doing but I really enjoyed playing with inks. I might try multiple colors and see how they layer on each other. I have a whole water color set I bought years ago but still haven’t used haha maybe I’ll go through those first...
