You need to see Lynne's envelope in person to appreciate the fine lines. Maybe if you enlarge the image you can get the feel for how fine the lines are. Somehow - in person - anything that is hand done has some quality that I can't put into words. It's like you can see the medium sitting on top of the paper. With gouache - you literally CAN see the paint sitting on top of the paper. I need to find one of those IG images of videos that show the ink or gouache flowing out of a pointed nib and the way some people can photograph it - each stroke looks like a huge droplet of fluid. It's very cool.
I think there are some better videos than this one - but this gives you the idea. If you have time, you can scroll back on Julie's IG - and look for some that are metallic ink on dark paper. Or maybe a reader would like to send me a link if they know what I am talking about and have seen a better example.
