messing around by Jenny Johnstone

Might be messy but you have achieved an excellent tonal range and caught the modelling of the body very effectively

This is strangely effective. Well worth the mess.

Very effective textures Jenny, will you be getting messy again!

Thank you Crispian, the chemical reaction of the Miltons and the Quink is what produces the tonal range, the bleach 'splits' the ink. Thank you Gudrun Thank you Carole, have been playing with it for a few days, enormous fun but very unpredictable. Doesn't really suit a control freak like me. The Miltons & Quink does it's own thing and so far - most of the time - its own thing has been horrible ! This is about the best so far.................

| am not a connoisseur of nude paintings but even from my standpoint of ignorance I can appreciate the wonderful light and shade you have achieved with your slightly unusual mediums. I also feel that by only revealing parts of the body you achieve an air of mystery which engages the viewer. Just shows that art can produced in any way and with anything! Well done.

thank you Thea, I don't know why I keep being drawn to mediums that I can't control, watercolours and now ink + bleach. It has been fun trying though

Really good it is too.

thank you Denise
