A Complicated Landscape~ alcohol ink on Yupo

SOLD


I spent a lot of time on this landscape because I had an image in mind when I began which isn't necessarily a good thing when working with these inks. They definitely have a mind of their own. You can build up fairly thick layers on the Yupo that can be manipulated with a bamboo skewer or brush, keeping in mind the less manipulation, the better the outcome. I finally received my 18 gauge oiler boiler which I filled with 70% alcohol and reworked the lake area in the foreground more than once to get the effect I was after.
