Description

Brown India ink blown with straw + warm yellow acrylic on A5 sketchpad, 4th December 1993 Naturally at art college you're encouraged to experiment for the sake of it in order to search for a direction. Nothing new here. I do like this one though. Like dead brambles and weeds destroyed by fire. A straw probably isn't the best thing to blow through as you end up inadvertently blowing your own saliva onto the painting - BUT this can create an interesting effect in itself. Anyone who has found it within themselves to spit on their painting has probably created magic at some time :-) I once saw on TV (on Eurotrash, a funny British programme hosted by Antoine de Caunes) a French artist who mixed his own semen with paint... haven't tried it personally but I bet it makes weird effects :-) Then there's the guy who paints in cowshit... sorry, hope I haven't put anyone off their dinner, LOL :-)

Small touches, and teh Depth of space is there. Refined and classy, and one still catch in there the uniqueness of your vision. Love it :)

Right nice stuff. The effect the blowing has on the flow is very lyrical.

I thought that the effect looked familiar . . . Yeah, that's right. When I do work in ink, I find that the cloth that I wipe my brush on looks (objectively) quite similar to the painting. There is a certain eloquent and beautiful randomness associated with the medium that can be accentuated by blowing.

I warmed up to this technique later in college, when I too found myself being encouraged to experiment in abstract painting. This is wonderful, has a woodland feel to it, love the color palette!!
