I have been experimenting again with ink over the last couple of weeks. This time I’ve not used the pens as normal and instead focused on Quink ink. By wetting the paper and dropping in black Quink you can get some really interesting and unpredictable results. I’ve just completed a new drawing featuring Tanygrisiau, an area of North Wales that I visited in October when exploring the caverns there. Loose areas of ink on wet paper were added first and then more controlled brushed ink was added on afterwards. It’s an interesting technique and one which I plan to explore a little more.
You can find ‘Tanygrisiau’ in the ‘Small Works’ and ‘Slate Caverns’ sections of this website.
