Art and spirit kateri ewing. I thought this was ingenious. I looked again carefully and it was clearly the letter N. What did it mean? Something to do with clouds, or a veil of pale mist? Surely there was enough of that going on in the exhibit to support that meaning. I wrote the word down in my notebook and then it was time to join the others. The workshop was beginning. Later that evening, after arriving back home, I looked it up in my dictionary. And so, an old word that I had never formally met.

Ink, Beautiful Ink - thinking about blue

http://www.thinkingaboutblue.com/2015/10/ink-beautiful-ink.html

Art and spirit kateri ewing. Laquo; The Perylenes. Cork board ». Ink, Beautiful Ink. Because the inks are one thing that I continuously use. I am mostly a dip pen aficionado. The responsiveness of a metal nib full of ink is incomparable for an expressive line. My go to inks have been a watersoluable Chinese carbon ink typically used for Sumi-e, and shellac based inks in bister and black for when I want a waterproof line to use with watercolour washes.

Art and spirit kateri ewing. With all of this drawing and painting of leaves that Ive been up to, Im noticing how closely I tend to look at things. There is a quote that I love about a way of seeing things. You can read over in my side bar, or Ill just paste it here:.

Art and spirit kateri ewing. Laquo; begin again. Charcoal is a messy satisfying sort of medium. While graphite can be so delicate with its silver shimmer and refined lines, and ink so nuanced in subtle tones of black through the palest grey wash, charcoal holds the most mystery for me. And so, when my subject invokes a sense of mystery in me, its charcoal that I reach for. There are so many charcoal artists that inspire me.  I have been following and studying the masterful works of Julio Reyes. Bio and A...

simplicity in a pocket brush - thinking about blue

http://www.thinkingaboutblue.com/2015/10/simplicity-in-a-pocket-brush.html

Art and spirit kateri ewing. Laquo; Art with Any A. Simplicity in a pocket brush. Ive learned over time that the way to guarantee I will sketch more when out and about is to keep my tools simple. Usually that means a small organiser bag that holds a few pencils, pens, a waterbrush, travel sable round, a small box of paints, a sketchbook and some miscellaneous tools and tiny bottles of water. .
