First wash of diluted black ink.

The mountains got their first was of colour today. What a difference it made! I did the whole thing at once and went through a whole bottle of ink. I mixed about 8 cc's of ink into 2 pints of water and filled it probably 12 times. I started with a spritz bottle but soon switched to a pump up style sprayer due to my hand feeling like it was going to fall off. Worked really well. Will let it dry overnight now before I start adding other various washes of colours like raw umber, burnt sienna and raw sienna. Here is a trip around the sprayed area.
