| The A2 sheets of paper before I cut them down |
I’d been experimenting
(playing!) with Daler Rowney acrylic inks on some large sheets of paper and
making marks in the studio, inspired by Instagram accounts of @emhow1, @cbarlowmarrs
& @miss_magpie_spy

| The Acrylic inks that I used plus the drawing materials I sketched with at the Barbican |
I used one A2 sheet of watercolour
paper and one A2 of thick cartridge paper. Both were Cass Arts own brand. I cut
two strips from each sheet, choosing what I thought might be the most
interesting paint blobs. I then marked off a couple of centimetres (to use to
stick them together with double sided tape) and divided the rest of the strip
into four. Then joined all four strips together.
The London Urban Sketcher group
were heading for a sketchcrawl at the conservatory in the Barbican Centre and the colour scheme seemed to fit, so I took it along
to work in. I used white pens as well as black and really enjoyed using the
sketchbook. Below are some of the results.
I’ve experimented since
using some different colours and I think it is a technique that has lots of
possibilities!
Love this. Maybe if I made my own it would be less terrifying to draw in...
