Inktober 2015 - painting with ink (week 3)

10/15/2015

 
This week I mostly used ink as a painting medium. Again it was all about experimentation.

The "Leaf" image involved using salt mixed with the background blue colour. This gave it the bubbled texture. I then dropped blobs of ink onto the dried background. I took an actual leaf, painted ink on it. I then used the art-making frottage technique to transfer the inked leaf to the composition. Finally, I used various pigment liner pens to draw out the details of the illustration.
The "Flower" image is a combination of using painted ink over a mask. I first  applied Molotow grafx masking liquid (to dry paper) over areas I wanted to keep white. Then ink was painted onto wet paper - to allow for bleeding of the colour.

The "Stuffed pepper" image is mainly heavily layered ink with the use of pigment liner pens. Ink was applied, and then quickly dried with a hairdryer before another layer was added. I worked with a damp brush to allow for some blending of colour.
