Continuation of ink experiment


---Medium and Material: Ink, Highlights, paintbrush, ripped up map of America

I threw yellow and blue ink onto the page for starters which mixed together creating a green colour in the middle. After drying this, I painted a building over the abstract with a paintbrush. I then drew another building on the right with black ink. This was more interesting than the other experiment I did because of the drawing style -I had only 1 minute to draw the buildings. Drawing a building at this speed made my drawing feel and look free and expressive. The expressive drawing style mixed with the expressive abstract made it busier. For the next page, I went through the same stages as my previous experiment but added an American map as a collage. I also used the same technique of drawing each building in 1 minute. I really like the fact that there is a map; it could be the key to remembering this image in your mind. I did not like how the skyline just had blue ink as the background for the buildings because of how simple it looks. Also, it looks out-of-place.


This drawing technique with ink was not as interesting as I thought it would be. The experiment was most successful at the start because of the structure of the buildings. I would like to change the technique of this style and focus more on the photographer’s style which is pictures. For my next experiment I want to combine what I have learnt from Michael Tompsett’s , Ansel Easton Adams’s Research and experiment and find my own technique.
