Thanks for posting. This is exactly what I was looking for.
Thank you! Glad it was helpful!
Very interesting. Never thought to let the ink dry before dunking it in water.
I've heard different opinions about if it makes a difference and which is better, so I thought I'd find out:)
I do chromotagraphy for all my inks cuz I’m a nerd and it makes me happy to see all the colors :P I use the chromatography strips to do mine and I keep the results with my ink swatches. I’m the crazy person who swatches on multiple papers and keeps them in trading card page protectors :P
That's awesome! Do you find chromatography helpful in any way, or is it just fun to see and document the ink? :)
I came across chromatography by happy accident when I rested a cotton bud I’d used to swatch on a paper towel to dry. I loved the ‘starburst’ effect I got and glued it next to the swatch. I now do it with each of my inks. I prefer the paper towel method you demonstrated because I can see the individual colours better. Thank you for a great video.
Thank you! I think that's so cool! So you were using another cotton material to do chromatography and now use paper towels instead?
@@fountainPENdulum No, I was using what we call a cotton bud here in the UK, I think you might call them a Q-tip, and I was resting it on the paper towel to dry when I noticed the amazing chromatography, it was so pretty.
There it is! Haha, thanks, I thought a cotton bud was similar to the chromatography butterfly sheets or something! Okay, awesome!
