INKS

I loved these French inks that we used in the class by Sarah Gabriel a couple of weeks ago
 
 This was a bit of experimental playing I did towards the end of the day
This class gave me a sense of perspective..in how I paint in my work
and this style.
I must have brushes that have crisp precise edges & smaller rather than large sizes..
In this ink painting style..it was big pastry brushes..other ordinary brushes bent over,,'it just didn't matter.
My work has a precision & a tightness & exactness when applying the paints...
This was well let's see how this works...
Maybe a little pen here..
It takes me ages to paint a small piece in comparison to this style...
Both these drawings & well I guess they became paintings
are at least A4 size on fabrino   ??? paper
So it was a great class in that I have some more skills
to just let loose every so often..
I do need to buy about 3 inks from Sarah's gallery in Piper St Kyneton
so when the time allows & urge strikes ...
I'll try again....to draw somethings with the pencils  & then paint with these magical inks
