I have been experimenting with color blending and smaller strokes lately. This piece turned out very much as a pattern, but color densities change from place to place. Still working on controlling that process to create more intentional effects. Acrylic on heavy stock paper.
Ink and watercolor on scuffed and scored gesso. The aim of this image was to create something of a third dimension to the colors and ink and how they interact on the surface.
This is a piece that appeared “zen style.” After laying down some watercolor washes and waiting for them to dry, I started with the spatter at the top and then did some small movements to create the rest of the dark shapes. The jagged outlines were made possible by the separation of fibers that occurred at the tip of the shodo brush.
