I have a hibiscus plant out on my porch patio that bloomed again this week after several weeks of no flowers. It looked so pretty in pink, but I sketched it using sepia acrylic inks instead. This is my Inktober Day 10 sketch.
Back a few years ago when I went to the Urban Sketchers Symposium in Chicago I took a workshop with Kiah Kiean Chng from Malaysia on painting with Chinese ink and a twig. Of course I don't have KK's magic twig that gives him such wonderful sketches, but I was fairly happy with this one that I did down the street nearby. Of course I probably haven't tried this method in over a year, and the twig needs to be scraped down to a better point, but it was fun to do it again for my Day 11 Inktober sketch.
Glad to see you are still inspired by KK!
ReplyDeleteInspired but I never seem to take my twig and ink out with me. lol
DeleteOh, my, and I have trouble with pen and pencil. Ha. The hibiscus is great and the twig sketch is amazing.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jo. I once did a sketch ( with color) just using a small twig and my finger.
DeleteGreat results using the twig especially when you haven't used that method in over a year!
