White Ink!
There is no beauty quite like that of snow and winter time splendor. As an artist and a lover of the outdoors and nature, I have come to love our magnificent earth in all her wondrous seasons especially her magical glistening snow.
The original Sumi-e painting is located in Gallery White and it is called 'Noble Snow Spirit Like Bamboo'. It was inspired by bamboo leaning into the weight of snow.
The materials I used to create this sumi-e included traditional ink stick and Japanese watercolor. However, in addition, I used Dr. Ph Martin's Bleed Proof White ink. And, the image was painted on Canson Ingres paper from France.
Fine Art Reproductions of this image are available at The Untapped Source. Art Prints are available from my Zazzle Gallery and in my Sumi Gallery at ImageKind.
Superlative, Casey. Rhythm of the brushpaint become bamboo stick, leaves. Especially love the tiny ruby-coloured berry that beats with the life force in the wintry scene.
ReplyDeleteThank you Brenda. You are so insightful!
ReplyDeleteI love all your bamboo images but this one is really special. The white ink brings a real drama to the subject.
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of drama in my paintings. Makes for of an emotional response.
