Water Ink Studios

Stylized Watercolor and India Ink Paintings I take the water and let it pour over the surface as I add pigment to it. I watch the water as it spreads, taking the color in different directions. I abruptly interrupt that flow of water through various means. In some places I will sprinkle salt on the dampened paper and watch the salt draw the pigment from the paper. In other places I will blot up the excess water and create lighter patches. There are other tricks that I can’t tell you because they are secret.haha. After the water and pigment are down and the painting is dry and the salt is dusted off, it is time for the India Ink. This is something that isn’t planned out, it is influenced from the moment I am in. My finished pieces are flowing moments captured on paper and presented to you.
