Alchemy Notebook: Serpent
Author: Ninth Wave
This is the most recent image in the Alchemy Notebook Project, created in my Moleskine pocket sketchbook. I used liquid acrylic inks, Prismacolor watercolor pencils, Derwent Inktense watercolor pencils, and metallic acrylic paints. The page measures 3.5 by 5.5 inches. It was created as a symbolic portrait of someone very close to my heart.

Stunning, as always! I wish I had your talent. Don’t you just love those Inktense pencils? Although I’m not a professional artist or anything, I love the results they give.

Yes, the Inktense pencils are fabulous to work with, such a high concentration of pigment for watercolor pencils. I just discovered that they come in a set of 24 now – I have the set of 12 from when they first came out. So I am going to have to work on getting the upgrade.

I don’t like the smell of pencils, but I love the outcome. Glad to see something new.
