Ok, so this was done out of a desire to be done with this process... I got bored of the materials and already have other projects in the works... I wanted to use up the rest of the ink... as you can see it was mostly blue. I made the mistake of letting the blue … Continue reading A Creative Block Project – Day 12
A little good news — for eczema sufferers
http://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/new-treatment-for-eczema-could-emerge-after-possible-cause-was-identified-by-surprised-scientists/ I'm planning to do more research into this and ask my doctor friends to help, but if this could cure the eczema I've suffered from for 50years... well, let's just say there are a ton of things I could do that the oversensitive, cracked & open skin on my hands only allowed me to … Continue reading A little good news — for eczema sufferers
A Creative Block Project – Day 11
Making art is like creating contained universes... some of it must leak out for us to witness it and the act of observation changes the universe itself. Art is a cacophony of conversations between the artist and their own minds and bodies; between the artist and their materials; between the artist and where they create; … Continue reading A Creative Block Project – Day 11
A Creative Block Project – Day 10
My intention was to see how the inks would bleed over the paper and interact when they only touch minimally. I started by soaking the surface with clean water, then I dropped in some drops of the primary colours and watched them defuse for a few minutes. It frankly wasn't moving fast enough for me, … Continue reading A Creative Block Project – Day 10
A Creative Block Project – Day 9
Full disclosure here: I didn't start this with an intention and it didn't result in any strong output for me. That and also I'm working on a new painting that is developing into something I'm really enjoying... I'll start posting on that in a few days, but for now... I started with a wet paper … Continue reading A Creative Block Project – Day 9
A Creative Block Project – Day 8
I feel I went out a little further on a limb for this one. I I have seen how salt mottles watercolour paints and wondered if it would do the same to ink... Well, not quite. The ink must have some alcohol or another form of solvent that isn't waterbed, so the salt didn't gather … Continue reading A Creative Block Project – Day 8
A Creative Block Project – Day 7
Following the interesting results of Day 5 where I used a very wet varnish bruh to drag the pigments across the page, I decided to try it again, only a little differently. This time I painted in the large spaces with pigment... less than usual and it started to dry fast. I had a feeling … Continue reading A Creative Block Project – Day 7
A Creative Block Project – Day 6
Just before going to bed last night I had an inspiration and had to try and get it down on paper... a thumbnail sketch if you like. It was a black brush marker drawing and I thought I would cover it in colour in a similar fashion to the Day 5 work. When I woke … Continue reading A Creative Block Project – Day 6
A Creative Block Project – Day 5
I needed to do something different today or get too bored and stop this project cold. I started with the stylized flower with a black brush marker and then drew halo-lines around it with my ink brushes. I really disliked the halo and found the colours just didn't mix well that way. I let myself … Continue reading A Creative Block Project – Day 5
