Drawing with blocks of frozen ink:
Felt like being back at school, a real sense of freedom, Diluted ink frozen into blocks. Large paper and blocks of colour – this approach really does feel like playing with marks and movement. By mixing the colours and then adding chalk crayon to add texture and depth to the drawing it provided a freedom of movement as detailed work was not possible with the ink alone.
What worked well
It
was playful and provides a very free approach to mark making. Can play with
density of colour and the addition of working with the chalk crayon added
texture and strength to the drawing.
What didn’t work so well
Very
cold on the fingers! it would be beneficial to have various strengths of frozen
ink as some I found too dilute and pale. I prefer more pronounced strength in my colours. I can
see the appeal but Im not sure I will experiment further as its not as refined
as an approach as Im looking for and feel the ipad has the more spontaneous
approach which appeals.
