Description
I really wanted to share this image of a work in progress, it captures for me the excitement of working with inks and liquids in the studio, the uncertainty of where the medium will go, the accidents and spills dictating the direction of the piece of work and the tragedy of not being able to freeze time and cature the beauty of the liquids in this state. Normally I am the only one to see all the transient states of the work but I wanted to share this image so that you can see the types of transition the work goes through en route to being finished. I hope you enjoy this snapshot - I will be posting a picture of the finished piece nearer the time. You can see more of my work and buy lots of lovely things from postcards to prints and originals from my website www.carnegriffiths.com - thank you for following my work.Related content

I really love this, and the thought behind it! It's true that artwork goes through so many transitions before the finished work is completed and yyou sometimes want to capture all of them. I'm no good with watercolours, haha, but when I do try them I love watching how the colours mix and shine on the page when they are still wet and unfinished.

Wow, this is amazing as it is. It has a lot of layers and temperature and weighted line, and still maintains the features of the face really well. Astounding image. No need to go further Imo.

Thanks but this is showing heavy liquids and it won't dry in this way - I'll be posting the finished image later today

This is an incredible piece of work, if this is a WIP it'll melt faces when it's done!
