So these are all ink? That’s a lot of black. Musta emptied the pen a lot. 
but looks so nice. Did she paint with ink? I tried that once.

That top one reminded me of Audrey.

Yes, all ink. You’re not wrong about going through the pens! She didn’t hesitate to order supplies in bulk. Here’s a small sample of the total collection of ink markers around the house right now. I grabbed these out of the storage box we were sharing for our regular evening ritual of doing sketchbook art together, while listening to audiobooks. I’m sure there is a ton more in her studio.
I think she did experiment with ink painting, but I never knew her to do much of that. For the last several years the Faber-Castell India Ink marker pens, like you see here, were her goto for sketching.

@sheralmyst Inquiring minds wish to know - what was your experience when you tried painting with ink?

Was many years ago when the school was furnishing the ink. Would not do it again. I prefer the ink be in a pen. But it was a bit like watercolor which I never developed a feel for.
I had ink of many colors at my disposal. Can become quite muddled very easily so there is no blending. Must let each layer dry. Meh. Not a fan.

Eww, that certainly does sound tedious and unappealing. Thanks for the insight! I, too, will stick with my ink in pens. Although… I must say I’m rather attracted to this usage of ink: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICxC5ekWnUc
I don’t think I could afford the camera equipment, though.

So that is awesome. The price of all that ink too. 
But without the camera equipment there would be no way to appreciate it. Reminds me of painting with light. Better equipment allows for so much more creativity without a physical canvas. Would not mind having some of those frames as a screensaver on my PC.

So… I couldn’t quickly find what camera was used for that video, but Chronos cameras by Kron Technologies is mentioned elsewhere in the Macro Room channel. Had a quick look there: https://www.krontech.ca/product/chronos-2-1-hd-starter-bundle/
Just over $8000 USD gets you in the door for 1080p recording (includes a lens). Not as exorbitant as I thought it might be, but still… 
::sigh::

And so is the bird by the looks of it! I love the way the bird emerges organically from the background and the overall feeling of a moment frozen in time.
