INK, Incredible INK!
Ok, Artsy Folks, We have a new theme on the horizon for April, and this is one of my all-time favorite media, Ink. I always think of black ink first and foremost, but really any color imaginable is available to us artists. We are also slowing down a bit so we can take a deep dive into the various ways ink has been used by artists from around the world. And try a few ourselves. Cool! As most of you know, I lean toward a more minimalistic, loose and expressive form of art, so even my portraits shown below are fairly quick and minimal, but as you can see, full of expression. Each artist will have a chance to figure out just how much detail is their own particular sweet spot. And each way of expressing is blessedly Right! Ain't that great? Ahh, Art.....as many artists as there are - as many ways to express ourselves. So join us and find your sweet spot! Here are a few of my ink drawings done with a bamboo pen or one of my own drawing sticks: ink and washes walnut ink and cut out eyes
