Charging

I just learned about charging colors the other day. I thought this would be an awesome opportunity to apply my new knowledge. Charging is a technique where color is dropped into areas of wet paint. The areas in the bottom left are great examples of this.
I am still trying to get a feel for my pigment-to-water ratios and paint mixing. Professionals make mixing paint look easy. There's still a lot of ground to cover, but I am thoroughly enjoying the ride.

Inktober Day 3 - "Bait"

Old school pen and ink. I haven't used a crow quill pen since high school - and, even then, I remember struggling to get it to work. This time, I thought I would try to create something using only cross-hatching. The prompt word today is "bait". This word took me into a lot of different ideas, but the one I ultimately landed on is based on the will-o-wisp. In my head, I imagined glowing orbs in front of a copse of swamp trees all created with layers of cross-hatching. Things had to be scaled back a bit. There are still two trees in the background if you look hard enough. Success? Sort of. It forced me to use a different kind of pen and, in doing so, made me want to keep going and get better with it.
