Black hours scroll for a fellow artist. Companion of the Maunche for Aurelia Colleoni a'Buccafurno, including portrait and over the top gold and silver leaves. I'm pleased with my calligraphy on this one, it is improving as I practice more, and I used black arches paper, gold and white goauche, and Dr. Ph Martin's bleed proof white for the calligraphy. I used a regular calligraphy pen and painted the Dr. Martin's ink - which is super thick btw - onto the pen with a little bit of water onto the pen to help with the flow.
