Something different again....
It used to be white on white images but now it has gone to these dots. One night of no sleep and now I have plans for about 30 yellow polkadot paintings.... haha!
Just practicing with the dip pen and this story came to be. Not sure what to do with it.
Using a dip pen for the first time... with the same noodler's ink: 'heart of darkness'. I bought this pen set (isn't it great!) a year, or rather two years ago on vacation and I am finally daring to try it out. I love the way it looks sitting on my art desk. It actually makes a more even line than I expected. I had to try to make the varying thickness and splatters!
Today I went to a place where #inktober2017 , #scribblepicnic, and the last day of my #30daychallenge combined! The theme at scribblepicnic this week is "blanket" so I covered my cabin with a blanket of snow and painted with ink. (Noodlers ink) I loved the way it bleeds and blooms as you go, even more than watercolor!
Day 3 of #inktober2017 and I was just playing with pattern here, loosely following the given prompt of "poison". Not great pieces but still a learning experience. In the past I had almost given up using black pen, I used to have to outline everything with fine sharpies, then I got away from that a bit, or at least switched to pencil. It was a struggle to have a piece feel finished without black lines. So now using ink again, and this time non permanent ink has been a struggle. I realized i don't like it mixed with watercolor THIS way anymore. I am picturing just one touch of watercolor if any, (more like day 1 and 2) and put down first, not after. Although I do like wetting the lines and watching them blur just a little like I did in day1. If you are playing along, Let me know what you are learning from your #inktober so far...
