Paper: Arches Hot Press Watercolor
Layout: modern mechanical pencil
Calligraphy: Quill pen & Sumi Ink
I used the following pigments: Carbon Black, Minium (Red Lead), Red Ochre,Orpiment, Lead White, Vermillion, Griffin Dye Work’s Peacock Blue (their replacement for Azurite) and Synthetic Ultramarine (same chemical makeup as lapis lazuli). For my green I used a mix of Peacock Blue and Orpiment that’s simular to vergaut (indigotin and orpiment)
Calligraphy done, Illuminated cap painted, now for the rest of it.
Colors going down in solid blocks of color. Using my handmade brushes for this.
Large areas have been painted with the base color, I added the details with a sharpened quill pen using either vermillion, ultramarine, or carbon black paint.
Details done. Ready for white work. Again using a quill to apply the paint.
Using bread like Cenni suggests for erasing.
Finished page, surrounded by supplies.
