A Four Ink Cockerel

[NickiStew]

 

I painted this cockerell using four fountain inks and used him as subject matter because all the colours of his plumage and crop have had to be created/mixed i.e. none of the colours are straight from the bottle. The reason for me posting this is that fountain pen inks (and there are thousands available) are legal to use for art! Yes! They are NOT an offence, there is no need to cower in fear and they are amazingly versatile. More people should be made aware of this!
