I used the Bideford Black paint I made yesterday. I didn’t have any idea what to do. I’m trying to get away from always working representationally and letting my imagination take over. It’s way out of my comfort zone! I took a fairly wide, flat brush and made swirls over one of the sheets of paper I’d prepared with gesso and walnut ink. It’s a surrealist way of working and I don’t know where it’s going to take me, but I’m not going to worry about it.
Surrealist Swirls.

I'm an artist / printmaker / scribbler. I love drawing and all the geeky stuff associated with printmaking, working in a figurative style. I live in Wales with husband and demented cats. And my real name is Rose Davies :D View more posts

“I didn’t have any idea what to do.”
Hows about using that Black pigment in some kind of free form Tibetan style calligraphy sweeps ?
