--- Serendipity---

Inking, I never thought it would be so meaningful. My art had so much depth and so many explanations. I really enjoyed working with ink and water, with so little resources I really appreciated what I was doing.

For my artworks I had many different combinations of colours, and a different theme for all of them as well. Watching the colours collide with each other was amazing. the ink mixing with the water and spilling out onto the page looked so graceful. Then adding the squirty bottle of inks to add more colour and refinement. Then to add more shape to my art I used sticks to shape and design more intricately. Then once the ink was dry we could add more to the piece, I added washed out backgrounds to a couple of mine, just to give it more colour. Then as a bit of a challenge to me I had to find the focal point of my art. When making the art I didnt really consider this, but after me analysing the painting I found it, then added to it and made it a significant part of my art.

I really enjoyed creating this type of art. I loved the fact that we had to limit our resources and were able to stand back and watch the ink create shapes. Then being able to manipulate the ink into what I wanted my art to look like.
