Pen, Ink, Brush and Flow

Pen, Ink, Brush and Flow

Glenn Hirsch

In art, what is the balance between:

intention and improvisation?

invention and discovery?

logic and intuition?

drawing over random wash

drawing over deliberate, controlled washes

Drawing with white paint

on top

white sponged on the dark

Step 1White acrylic on top of the ink and wash

Step 2 After white is dry, more transparent ink washes are applied

Brush and Ink

control the dark and light value of the ink by diluting it with water

light tones can recede and dark come forward

Positive shape and negative shape

Script Brush

tiny and long

Does this look like fun?

It takes a little practice.

The same way a dancer practices

What makes drawing beautiful?
