I am an artist who paints rigidly, uptight, and is easily absorbed in minutiae, so exercises that help me loosen up are extremely critical to my art practice.
The video and pictures below detail one such exercise using India ink and brush to create flowing, spontaneous images. The first two images are my own, the next two are from another artist who graciously has allowed me to share her work exhibiting a similar style.
This is a bold and daring way to paint with ink. It requires the artist to relinquish some control and embrace the process as a collaboration between the artist and the supplies at hand: water, ink, paper, brush all have a say in the final work. Water most especially.
This is also a great activity to release the mind from anxiety amidst this COVID-19 pandemic.
Comment down below if you try this style and let me know what you think!
