Leonardo & Radagast
Radagast
I was just admiring a moonlit leaf that only blooms at night—ever tried sketching something that only shows itself under the stars?
Leonardo
That’s a nice idea – the trick is to capture the brief glow in your sketch, then let the ink stay almost blank for the rest of the page. It’s a good exercise in precision and patience. Give it a try.
Radagast
I’ll give it a whirl—maybe a tiny silver line for the glow, then let the rest be quiet, just like the forest after a rain. Have you tried it yet?
Leonardo
I’ve sketched a few nocturnal blossoms, but I never try them on paper at midnight. The silence of a rainy forest is a fine reference for a quiet line. Good luck.
Radagast
Ah, midnight ink! I’ll gather the mist, let the quill breathe, and try. Thank you, and may the forest guide your lines.
Leonardo
Glad you’re willing to try it. Keep the line tight, and let the rest of the page breathe. Good luck.
Radagast
Thank you kindly—I’ll tuck the quill into the earth’s quiet, let the ink grow softly like dew, and keep that line as tight as a twig’s knot. Good luck to you too!
Leonardo
That’s the spirit. When the ink settles, the leaf will show its true shape. Keep your hand steady, and the forest will guide you.
