These are my first paintings of 2014, done with my first ever homemade ink (black walnut -
see previous post).
All of these were done on 22" x 30" sheets of Winsor & Newton Paper (Hot Press, 140 lb.). This is probably the finest paper I've ever used...I bought a bunch on-sale during Thanksgiving break from an art supply store back where my parents live.
Having such large quantities of ink available (and large sheets of paper) allowed me to experiment with some new techniques and tools.
I also tried using some gouache I had bought on-sale along time ago. I love the vibrant, opaque color, and I'm excited to experiment further.
