…this is the first of several recent abstract experiments with ink and stained tissue on watercolour board that I am happy with. I like the subdued burgundy, brown and gold colours.
You might remember that I’ve used a similar technique for more representative landscape based pieces, also on watercolour board (click here).
This one is quite a small artwork but I think it may be one for framing at some point.

A detail of another recent ink and tissue experimental piece (shown in full below), to show the lovely way the ink runs into the wrinkles and creases in this method, suggesting natural features. This detail is roughly actual size.
(Hopefully this one will show an enlarged view when clicked on! I’ve been having difficulty getting this aspect to work when using the ‘shortcut’ New Post facility in WordPress).
I am so excited by this way of working!
