I spent the last few nights creating abstract paintings with quink and indian inks. I wanted to capture the essence of a stormy ocean scene, inspired by the photographs I took on my day out in Cromer. I managed to fill an small a5 sketchbook as well as an a3, so I was happy with what I had achieved.
As well as the inks, I used bleach in my paintings (I'm pretty much obsessed, ink and bleach will always be my favourite technique) and for this reason I prefer painting with quink ink because the bleach takes out a lot more of the colours, leaving this lovely burnt brown and goes to white when used on my Winsor and Newton inks.
I'd like to scan these in and make some really interesting repeats for the new project.
The two projects that I've decided to enter are the Bradford Textiles Print for Fashion and one for Wallpaper design.
