This ink wash struck me as a person resting on the floor. But others will have a different interpretation. In addition to the ink applied to paper, I did some modifications in Lightroom to get more color into the image.

Inkism 1
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.

Vertical Parallel 3
For this piece, I put down acrylic colors first on heavy acrylic paper. Then I took a narrow, flat piece of wood fashioned as a calligraphic tool to apply the ink. Because of the texture in the paper, this would probably look best printed on canvas, instead of on smooth paper.

Dialogue 2
Turbulent Geographies 2
Ink and ink washes, then post-processing with Lightroom and Photoshop.
Turbulent Geographies
I think this is only one geography, but it is likely to be the first of a series, so it gets the plural. This is mostly acrylic ink on mixedmedia stock with some watercolor washes.

Entity 5
Diluted acrylic ink applied on mixedmedia paper with a Japanese shodo brush.
Entity 3
Very much the same process that I used for Entity 1 just below. Ink strokes with some splatter on a background image imported later during the post-processing phase in Lightroom and Photoshop.

Entity 1
This is one of the set of ink washes and splatters I created a few evenings ago (see previous posts). This one is a bit different in that I used a different background image. In the previous post (Madness Encroaches), the background of ink washes was part of the original work. For this one, I used a photo I took of clouds in the early evening.

I really like how this one came out. It is a photo of ink washes and then a big splatter applied to paper stock that had some brown in it. I used two studio lights with different temperatures to illuminate it for my camera. The result is that there was a lot of different color in the image I could work with.
