A new technique adopted - accidentally!

We work ourselves as voluntary supervisors in KOPRU Summer Exhibition. I prefer the longest shifts, six hours, because I will then have time to sit, read and draw whenever no visitors are present. 

I started to draw this corner of our exhibition hall with traditional ink pen. You may guess what happened: I dropped a lot of ink from the pen onto the drawing! I got an idea to wash it away with a moist brush but found out that the ink will be spreading in a beautiful way on the paper! 

"Why not", was my reaction. Those grey shades were easy to create.

Finally I added some colours with colour pens on the mosaic floor (I have seen many coloured drawings by the Swedish artist Carl Larsson). Then I was all satisfied.

This will be my new method to produce coloured ink drawings. I start practising immediately!
