Unique and very interesting!! Well done and inspirational.

not what I expected .. very interesting as Sno says .. it will be even more interesting to see where you end up after you've had enough splashes to make a judgement .. The first is by far my fave ...

 

[mbeckett]

neat technique ... very 'em! i am partial to the rose.

 

[Triduana]

I love these! Wonderful effects ... I just love the feathers in the first one

 

[JessieNebulous]

These are really cool. I like the effects you're getting.

 

[Trier]

Agreed; very interesting, attractive and expertly done.

 

[MaryKnos]

I absolutely love the touch of blue on your birds!

 

[Terri]

Beautiful work! Intricate details, and your soft colors are just dreamy. ❤

I like them all but my favorite is the first. Love the results you got from the technique.

What a great way to find inspiration.

Holy WOW! These are spectacular. I'm so impressed. Really beautiful. All of them.

Thanks all, kind words although I’m not happy with it yet. I have a similar 16 x 20 I’m struggling with so I’ll post that eventually—had to walk away for a bit

Very creative pieces … love the idea and your drawings are good.

Are you doing the colour first … and are you making deliberate shapes with it?

 

[Scamall]

I honestly am just working pretty intuitively but with an idea of subject. With the floral, I splashed down color with a flower in mind and went looking for it. The raven with the blue behind the head had some blue and back splashed on a vague pencil shape of a raven and the blue behind the bird was added last. The other raven was pretty random but I think I had ravens on the brain, so a subconscious intent I suppose. Splashed blue and then black which I blew and patted. I do like the use on that of black pen on light colors and white (gel) pen on the darker colors.

Ah! hi ,yes I know I've been completely quiet so far . Busy with trying reincarnate creatively with a new drawing method in the face of physical & especially motivational obstacles. What is art? about etc. Then I saw Scamells work on this thread,I just had to comment - Special ! just because it is so creative -That's it ! That's what I used to love about art & that's the shape of the void that's been left in my heart.
Now I am reminded of the value of that sadly now endangered beast , the art forum ! There is genuine value in both seeing the work of others, sharing my own & discussing art work in some depth on occasion.
