I’ve been enjoying the marks made by using a dip pen and sumi ink.

Next I took a wet square brush and pulled it along the ink. For more contrast I brushed the ink on wet into wet. As you’ll see from the video it’s an effective and swift process to capture a moment.

By the time I remembered to video, I was beyond the abstracted marks. These sketches were a great way to loosen up though while connecting with the scene.

If you’re interested in what came after the sketches I’ll be sharing this in my next post. Meanwhile, a bit of rest required …

Until next time,
