This is a pre-cursor to the ink block printing project.
For this I used a fountian pen and ink to draw a black and white picture.I drew a close up of a plant and showed the detail of the petals and stamons that are in the middle.
Value, shading, shape, focus, lines and space were all used in the making of this piece.
The feeling of the painting isn't supposed to be overwhelming but informative of the different shapes in it. It should look balanced between the positive and negative space.
