Anne Kerr’s LP Project

A very effective technique, Barry. Fine work.

That matchstick is working wonders Barry.

Thank you Lewis and Brian, I find the more random effect created by the matchstick suits my style much better that pens. I did make a reed pen last year which also creates lovely marks.

Nice one Barry, like this a lot.

Works very well Barry, must have a try myself. As you say the old matchstick does give a better mark than a steel one. Didn't Van Gogh do reed pen drawings prior to his paintings?

Great attempt at this LP scene Barry. Like the effects of the use of matchsticks with ink.

Barry love the way you handle your cottages. Well placed with great tonal contrast and red roofs And you are much better at shapening matchsticks than me!

I love the way you have done the trees Barry, smashing work.

That’s gorgeous Barry.

The matchstick work really livens the painting - lovely, Barry

Lovely work Barry. I'm so glad you enjoyed the articles. Drawing with ink is quite exciting, a very versatile medium. I also use twigs dipped in ink with some of my students, it is a lot of fun. Thank you for trying my drawing, kindest regards, Anne Kerr

Thank you Anne lovely to hear from you I did enjoy your articles and continue to explore the medium.
