Video: Time lapse of “Ganesha”

Ah, Ganesha. A favourite subject! I’ve drawn it two or more times before so I don’t need any sketch underneath anymore.

I used a flat brush and black Sumi ink. The thinner the ink in the brush the more the strokes look like pencil, but it’s all brush and ink! I used a Geranium Red ink brushpen from Kuretake for the scarf.

28-second time-lapse of my hand painting with a flat brush with black ink, and without sketch, a statue of Ganesha, the elephant with a human’s body and four arms.

This is part of a series using red as a highlight colour. See the other four.

Video: Time lapse of “Orchid”

Quick work without any sketch.

I used burnt sienna Holbein Artists’ gouache, and a green ink brush pen from Sketchbox.

24-second time-lapse of my hand painting with Ink and gouache an orchid starting with red flowers and buds, then the stem in ink, and finally a mass of long green leaves using a green ink brushpen.

This is part of a series using red as a highlight colour. See the other four.

Video: Time lapse of “Cardinal”

Black ink brush pen, red acrylic paint and a touch of mustard coloured paint on the beak and feet of the bird.

27-second time-lapse of my hand making a black ink and red acrylic paint drawing of a cardinal perched on a pine tree branch.
