Experiments

The first few automatic drawing videos I loaded to youtube were me in my safe zone with the technique- black lines, wet watercolors and washes of color blending together. I pushed myself a little to try something new. I loaded a pen with a favorite watersoluble blue ink and went to town.

I added watercolors and allowed the blue ink to merge with the colors, creating whole new shades. I added Pearl Ex watercolors to the mix. Sprayed the whole thing with water and hit it with a jet of air from my new high powered hair drier (it's too fast for my liking) and allowed the air to push the water around on the page, blending it further.

Watch it come to life here:

 

(I'll be getting more mats in tomorrow so some more of these will be listed, until then check out my etsy and artfire shops for other images.)
