Ink and watercolor on 140lb Arches hot press watercolor paperI really don't have much to say about this style of painting because it is pretty simple to do. It starts with a pencil sketch over which I draw with a waterproof fine line marker. Once the ink is dry I erase all the pencils lines and then just color inside the lines with watercolor. It is basically like coloring in a coloring book.
When I look back over previous posts the days that have the most commentary are the ones where I was either depressing about my lack of artistic skills and vision or I had accomplished something amazing with my art.
These ink and wash paintings don't have those highs and lows to them because the technique is totally predicable. I know when I start what the final result will be so in a way I guess I find them kind of boring and uninteresting to create even though I like the way they look.
