Studio Update: June #2 2024

I have been playing with the small pictures and have added a light-ish ink wash of Chinese Black ink applied using a plastic syringe over the past week and a half.

I spent the most time on #1 and, after looking at it for the past couple of days, I have come to the conclusion that perhaps the choice to use the red Sharpie is not exactly working. The idea is closer to what I had in mind; I just feel that perhaps another color would have worked better in this case.

I feel that the four pictures below show more promise and will be spending some more time this week playing with other ideas on how to finish these small studies:

The decision to take a step back and to work on smaller pieces of paper and focus on creating these studies to work out the current challenges I have been experiencing on a larger scale is working out better than anticipated. I am finding that I am enjoying playing with the smaller sections and can visualize how these studies can be applied to my full-size pictures.

I’m curious to see where this will lead.
