Damn, I really love all these scribbly, non-sense splatter of paint that accompanies the true melody of the artwork. Genius!

Carnegriff In reply to NezoElyk [2011-01-04 08:59:01 +0000 UTC]

Yeah I really liked the patterned shapes on the dress - a lot of the marks were an abstraction of that pattern.

I love the way your line dances around the page! I also like the washes of color and that they only help strengthen the lines. Beautiful work

CuFtaMaSter [2010-09-04 14:10:14 +0000 UTC]

this is very beautiful, but i must ask you what kind of papir did you use, and tea, is it jut a regular one or?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Carnegriff In reply to CuFtaMaSter [2010-09-04 19:56:31 +0000 UTC]

I use a lot of unusual liquids to paint with from brandy to tea - that particular painting I believe was chai - but I experiment and change regularly. I use a heavy 350gsm watercolour paper - well stretched, I float a lot of liquid on the surface so if the paper isn't stretched it won't dry flat. It makes a big difference to the way the paints dry if your paper is properly prepared.

Thanks for your comments

I love how you combine writing and the art . It looks so natural, like it ment to be that way! She looks so lovely! Her face and hair are a masterpiece! The only thing that doesn't look good for me are the sharp lines at the right, the whole portrait is very mellow and delicate, washed by tea so very blurred, and then poof! Hard, strong sharp edges, maybe if they were showing something important, but they are just out of nowhere for me.

Carnegriff In reply to MrsBrushwood [2010-08-24 21:37:43 +0000 UTC]

Like the writing the graphite scrawls are very spontaneous marks and more a part of the process rather than trying to contribute to image making, I know what you mean though they are stark in comparison to the pen work but I enjoy the contrast in marks, some pieces have this type of line under the washes - in others I feel they give balance to the piece. Thank you for your comments and encouragement.
