Water colour. Pigment and water with differing degrees of wetness to give form in washes or precise sharp detail. A romantic medium to create light and space. Just look at Turners work to get inspiration for any atmospheric intention.
Oil paint/Oil and pigment. Slow drying oils are so useful for working back into and adding layers. Colours so rich and juicy or moody and suggestive. Brushstrokes or palette knife marks add to the final work. The medium can also be used very thinly to imitate water colour.
Suggestive of skin or elevating the layers to give an illusion of depth and atmosphere. A heat gun can manipulate the flow of wax and also the paint colour in many directions.
The vibrant colours that inks produce are a vehicle to explore how they flow and mix to produce gorgeous results. Ink with bleach can evoke images of days gone by. Portraits in sepia tones and washes are the vehicle for nostalgic images.
Endless projects and possibilities are presented with various techniques used in drawing. From lead pencils to crayons, pastels and glue gun the effects medium and tools are boundless.
