Art: (larger) Crane (+ time-lapse)

I made another ink drawing of a crane after some Chinese brushwork piece by artist Nanrae.

On a taupe toned paper I used a black ink brush pen, my Kuretake Light Grey and Geranium Red BrushWriters, and applied gold paint with a brush.

Finally, I went back to the piece afterwards to paint the body of the crane with a white ink Kuretake brushpen.

I gave the framed piece to Shadi.

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.

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.
