Perhaps something more Shire

 

I'm playing with a new limited palette which is very like the one I created from beam paints only this time from commercial paints in tubes that I can pour into a more portable palette.  

Caput Mortuum, Indigo, and Hansa.  I feel the need to add a green to this, but haven't found one I like yet.  But it can do a lot more than I expected with just those colours.

But still, something's missing.  So I added some lines with a dip pen and trying out sumi ink.

I like this much better
