I have always enjoyed the spontaneity of sketchbook art as well as the looseness of watercolors. I recently completed a workshop on ink washes and gesture drawing with artist/teacher Jackie Saunders at the Alexandria Art League. Using techniques from the workshop, I have been experimenting with ink wash drawings that combine brushwork and line drawing. The following drawings are done very rapidly with a goal of finding lines and shapes that will convey qualities about the charachter of the model rather than striving for a likeness. These are exercises in training the eye and hand to find the the most important shapes and lines that best define the subject.
