Some harmful defects in drawings.


Harmful errors and accidents can spoil your drawings - be careful!

The drawing on the left side was drawn by me in the middle of sixties, during my art class in Imatran Yhteislyseo (Imatra High School). We went to the Imatrankoski Rapids (beneath Imatrankoski Power Plant, the waters of rapids are therefore dammed). Marker felt pens were a novel tool on those days, and I used two of them, both black, when doing this work.

But! After 50 years it seems that another dye has got a new, brownish appearance! I really do not know if it is a bad or good transformation, but originally it was intended to be all B&W! 

Be careful, use only one pencil!

The right drawing has got an absolutely bad treatment by a leak of some kind diluting agent. The passepartout can be replaced but the corrections of the drawing are very hard to perform. 

Be careful when using diluting agents!
