Ink 2022

(India Ink and watercolour pencil in an A3 mixed media sketchbook)

I used to work primarily in fineliner pen, intricately and on quite a small scale. Unfortunately this kind of work now flares up my wrist and hand pain so I deploy it sparingly. Big silver lining, this has pushed me towards painting and working on a larger scale! Ink sketchbooks like this one are filled using India ink, chunky pencils and scrappy old craft brushes and let me play with ideas and compositions as I used to in smaller books. The books themselves are softcover and inexpensive, keeping me from getting to precious with them.
