 New work (+ in progress) 

Artist Reflection 

For this week I continued to develop my work. I started to add further detail with a dip pen along with further developing my landscape piece. I also discussed the idea of have some areas meant to be left in the background as only washes of ink with minimal detail to help push the composition and area of focus. I will explore that idea next week while I finish them.

This week I continued adding details to the large piece with graphite pencil to create a framework to work from when I start inking it. I also added washes of ink to the smaller pieces to get them ready to ink the finer details with pen. For next week I want to continue much the same way I did this week and make progress on both. I discussed during class starting to add ink to the large piece, along with a sketch of the other one.

For this week I wanted to focus on starting to make a final sketch for the larger image, I chose the center one to start with. I also begun adding further washes and details to the smaller animal pieces. during class we discussed the larger pieces as a whole and how they would be laid out in the CEA museum and how they could cover the corner by folding the center one down the middle so the right and left pieces could be each wall respectively. Next I am going to focus on much the same as this week, which is adding to both pieces.

During this week I focused on transferring what I had onto the new paper and progressing a little with the inking. I also focused on getting the larger sheets of paper for next week to work on the landscape piece. I used transfer paper to move the animal pieces onto the new paper so that I could begin inking them.

I started transferring my animal sketches to the thicker paper using graphite transfer paper and began using acrylic ink to add value before using pen to add detail. for the bigger landscape piece I tested the composition using three 22x30 sheets of thin paper that I taped onto the wall next to each other to create one image. I'll be using three 22x30 sheets of watercolor paper to create the landscape image, and will continue to finish the animal pieces that I have before adding any more.
