Chinese Cacography: 快樂 Happy

Summer is officially here. Time to be happy!

Sidebar: A little comment on Scabiosa. It's been maybe a couple weeks, up to a month since I wrote this Chinese Cacography. It initially went down more of a rust colour. Now it's aged to a purple-black. Pretty interesting to see this oxidation process.

Pen: Platinum Cool Crystal Rose F
Ink: Rohrer & Klingner Scabiosa

Brush: Kuretake No. 8 Brush Pen
Ink: Kuretake Black

Chinese Cacography (i.e. chicken scratch) is my attempt to combine using fountain pens and Chinese characters writing practice. Unless otherwise noted, the paper used is always Baron Fig Apprentice Dot grid.
