Eight drawings with walnut ink.

Back in the studio. It take lots of energy to make a drawing especially a large one. To get back in shape I have been making small drawings. These drawings were made with my new nibs and gift walnut ink,

These lines feel like little twigs.

I made a series of eight on Rives BFK. This is the begining. So tempted to leave them just the way they are. The quality of the line is so amazing. I do have ideas for what will come next but I need to do some experimentation with how the ink will respond when I add a layer on top.

19 lines with walnut ink

I have been waiting for the moment to try this Walnut Ink made by one of my artist buds at Artist & Craftsman Supply. Ink like this asks to be used in an intimate drawing. I thought I would try making a very small 19 line drawing.

These are the first 19 lines.

I love how the ink sits in the pen and is slowly absorbed by the Rives BFK.

In the Studio : early March

I arrived at the studio very early this morning. Made a pot of coffee and solved a couple construction problems.

Then it was time to clean off all the surfaces so I could take out sheets of paper. It's been weeks since I've had time enough in the studio to really work on anything brand new. I decided to take a look at some drawings that I had started as early as a few weeks back. This would help me get past the what do I do feeling that I get when I'm not focused on a particular project or series of drawings. It's like getting reintroduced to some long lost friends.
