Glass nib ink drawing by Gudrun Ståhl Sharpley

Comments

This work well. Good balance and beautiful ink marks Gudrun.

Thank you John! I do love the unpredictability of ink.

Very well done indeed. I like the marks and pooling effects as you have mentioned.

Oh, I do like the effects of your glass nib Gudrun. You have created weight with the pools of ink, and just in the right places. Great pose too.

Like this approach 👌

Thank you all for your appreciation and encouragement.

I like those pooling effects too and your capturing of movement is always first class

ps the pools are dry now, yet have a lovely shine so I am very happy about that.

Great figure Gudrun, I like the pen effects.

Nice and impressive drawing, Gudrun!

Thank you again for all your kind comments and encouragement!

Nice sketch Gudrun

Thank you Petra. I was looking for the stained glass/leaded look in this work.

It has been interesting to use my glass nib dipping pen and ink using a paper that is not particularly absorbent. I like the pooling effects, which are still drying …. On A4 and archival as usual.
