I've re-established the habit of stepping out to different cafes each morning to spend an hour or so drawing. It's a great way to let ideas flow and also practise with these new brush pens. They are mop brushes with an ink reservoir, and are quite fantastic to work with!
Ink, paper, and morning drawings
This year has been fantastic so far! A spontaneous trip to Armenia and a slightly new direction in my work have both opened things up. I have also been working with ink on paper, which has been a pleasurable counterpoint to the layered techniques used in the acrylic on canvas paintings.
This is from the first session with a Sleeper. I was mixing techniques to see what worked best for me.
I am loving the simplicity of working with a mop brush and ink.
All set up for the first massage and modelling session of the year! The ink work came out of this session, and I will do a fair few more in the early part of this year to see where the work goes.
