Watercolor and Ink

[rcleary171]

I've been adding black ink to my sketches. I like the appearance and I'm getting use to its willfulness. Sometimes I let it do what it wants, and I ended up enjoying he unexpected path that it took.

I like the looseness of your ink shapes! Does the watercolor come first or last?

Normally first, but that is never a rule. Sometimes I let them fight it out.

Love this. It flows and looks so effortless and natural. I really like to 2-color palette too. Great work!

I especially like the variety of shapes, but it is still cohesive and fresh looking.

Very nice. I like the sharp contrasts and the white background.

Great work - I like the haunting mood you created here.

Beautiful! Your stark trees look terrific against that sky. Wonderful job.

I'm always impressed by the look of ink when it's handled this well - that's a medium I find very intimidating.

While scanning through some old photos of Pennsylvania mine workers, I came upon this fellow. I tried to capture the depth of his stare.

What a beautiful sketch. You definitely captured an intense expression. Wonderful!
