Description
Time: 3 hours (one class period
Materials: India Ink, water, twigs
Size: 18x24 inches (45.72cm x 60.96 cm)
This is a simple still life done in a mix of ink and ink washes showing a somewhat morbid scene. Normally, I'd leave something like this off of DA, but I like this one.

The interesting thing about this piece is that I was not allowed to use a pen or a brush, or any traditional tools at all. We were told to go outside, grab whatever we could find that was organic; twigs , leaves, braches full of dying leaves, rocks, grass, plants, whatever. Then taking those materials we had to recreate the scene in front of us as "closely" as possible. (Though I zoomed in on this specific area). The lines were done with a shattered twig, while the ink washes were applied with a few dried leaves.
