A few ghosts ago I got some unexpected results from ink on mixed media paper. Since then I’ve been playing around with ways to apply water to an inked surface. Today I decided to try another drawing based on what I found.
Working on bristol board, I created the same chessboard pattern as #169. Then I masked off the non-leaf part and sprayed the surface with a mist of water.
Results were mixed but suggest future potential. I used a brand of masking film I’d never tried before, and I found it difficult to cut. Maybe my knife wasn’t as sharp as it should have been, but I found it impossible to slice the film without cutting through the board underneath. Also my experiments suggested that a light spray of water would more than do the trick. Here I think I should have used a bit more.
Try try again.
