    Alcohol Ink, Pen Ink & Gouache on Paper.

     

    This project was an exercise in ink mixing and application. The alcohol ink (colour) was mixed with water, each colour had it’s own container and eye dropper. I dropped, threw and blew the alcohol ink over top of my pen ink drawing (black). I finished the pieces off with thin white lines of Gouache, to pull the images back out from the alcohol ink.

     

    The frames were a project entirely on their own. With help from my father we custom built these pine frames, finished in white and finally distressed.

    This series was the very first of my combination of these specific mediums. I wanted to create work that could be hung in groups or separately.
