Continuing ink exploration

 ...continuing exploration into working with inks.
Paper: 250gsm Bristol Board, A4 size
Medium: Staedtler pigment liners, .05, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 5.0. Various water colours, quite old tubes of colour I have (some over 40years old!!!). These include Cotam, Winsor Newton, and Art Spectrum.
 

Step One: Black ink drawing state


Step Two: Initial water colour washes using primarily a 'Paynes Grey' mix of Ultramarine, Yellow Ochre and Vermillion. Touches of yellow ochre and greens created with mixes of these colours.

Step Three: final. More layers of greys, colours, with 'spatter' technque in the sand. Additional line work to enhance the depth in the stones.

Working in inks is fun - you sort of have to let go and embrace the challenge of knowing you cannot erase!
