Experimenting with Ink
"Now for something completely different!"
Ink is infinitely versatile
Let your imagination flow with this medium
Different approaches:
Loose like watercolors-
wet on wet, layering opacity
Limitless mark making with tools such as sticks,
feathers, prints of textures
Tight crosshatchings and dots
Linear poems of movement and weight
Dream like landscapes fom Ink playing experiments:
Gao Xingjian
Abstractions from ink manipulation.
Fang Lijun
Examples of his large face ink paintings as well as some of the wilder side of his imagination.
One of his oils but you can imagine this done in ink washes
Tightly rendered:
Barbara Kirby creates these drawings with small dots from her pen.
Highly controlled style but organic and dreamlike subject matter
Traditional:
Joseph Clement Coll 1881 - 1921
Classic American Illustrator
Ink line drawings reproduce well. Midtones are made of crosshatching and layering of marks.
Past Illustrators were the masters of line. Their work is a great example of creating mood with line.
Amazing!
DAVID HOCKNEY!
Oh, this man can DRAW! in whatever medium he likes!
