Fans of the leaf ghost series may recognize this color combination from #105. However, this is Koh-I-Noor Scarlet rather than Winsor & Newton Deep Red.
So this ghost is an ink test, both to see whether the color was good and also whether cleanup would be easy. Yes and no.
The color is a darker red that looks a little like dried blood, which will make it perfect for an upcoming ghost. Unfortunately it was a colossal pain to clean off the dip pen nib. Neither water nor alcohol completely removed it, so I had to resort to paint thinner. And that makes it unusable for the future project I have in mind, because I’ll use tech pens for that and they’re hard enough to clean even when the ink isn’t stubborn.
But that’s okay. The W&N ink looks pretty much the same, and it dissolves easily with water.
