A Work in Progress...
The line drawing - front:
This stage sets the groundwork for the
actual painting: composition, development of grisaille, and
textural motion. Traditionally fine drawing pens loaded with india ink are usually used,
but
I like to use a silver point stylus to develop my ideas.
This creates a fine, precise yet soft gray line. Then I augment that
detail with india ink in the foreground in order to build in distance from the get-go.
The image, a simple canalscape of Bruges for the frontside contrasted with...
The line drawing - back:
...a
quotation from Nisargadatta Maharaj on the back. I imagine here a field of
blue sky, with this text luminously vibrating through the
blueness. Which
begins with the next level of image development, color, using egg tempera.
