Ink Shell:

Last class period was more exploratory than usual because I was trying a new material; Ink. The study of the shell in charcoal was done first and is only about a half hour drawing.  Then I spent time exploring Ink and it’s qualities. I have enjoyed this process because there is an element of chance, depending on the amount of liquid used. I usually have a very controlled style of drawing but have always appreciated the sketchy quality a drawing can have and with this drippy medium I have no choice but to be more gestural. I think I will continue to use this medium.
