An exploration of sumi ink #6

A few months ago, I came across several Japanese artists whose work featured sumi ink.  The versatility and richness of the ink was what drew me to it initially. Undiluted, the ink is a bold, deep black. When mixed with water, it creates delicate stains that border on a midnight blue. Adding graphite and salt to the piece created some beautiful markings that enhanced the overall composition. DETAILS Artwork is 8 x .75 x 10"  This study was created on stretched cotton-muslin fabric using sumi ink, graphite and salt. The painting is framed in white oak and sprayed with a non-toxic fixative. The study number, year and materials used are written on the back. The piece comes signed and ready to hang. SHIPPING US and international shipping will be added at checkout.
