Red Rose Deep - using inks

7x4 India inks on 140 lb Saunders Waterford watercolor paper, drawn with colored pencil then inked over the lines.  I used a deep red silk rose.  This is my first full ink painting using Dr. Ph. Martin's products and really do enjoy the vivid hues.

Your darks are wonderful. It is what I am missing in my rose. Thanks for the inspiration
