This new drawing was inspired by my recent walnut ink drawings.
Where the walnut ink is subtle the acrylic ink I used for this drawing and a humber of others is not. Still there is an amazing variation of hue and intensity. This drawing and a number of others consist of 18 lines drawn and stacked on a single small sheet. This would fit in a 9 x 12 inch frame.
I often draw brown marks in the spring. These recent drawings are like little sticks. The drawing wants another mark. Something warmer? Not sure yet.
I pulled out another drawing I had started months ago. I had been confused about where to go after having drawn different tonal rhythms on a sheet of rag paper. The paper is dark grey and I was using acrylic inks that are very saturated. I had also used transparent matte gesso and sanded the surface.
Adding the next layer of marks would have to hold the tonal areas together. I decided to test the preious thread-like marks I had made previously on another small drawing.
Now to be patient and see what it asks for next.
I'm happy to have a piece in Small Worlds. It's called Bleep. Bleep. Nixed media on cradleboard.
