Abstract with inks 1 by Satu Vartiainen

A real beauty Satu - another abstract day - you never know just one day there might be an abstract included in the 'selection' This is certainly worthy.

The first part of my text has disappeared but it said that I wanted to follow Michael's steps and try acrylic inks but had only... Great fun and the possibilities are endless.

Great result Satu! I got my Acrylic inks out the other day with the intention of giving this a go but they'd all dried up, good on you for not letting the lack of materials beat you!

Nice lively work Satu, this is the type of 'abstract' I like, bordering on loose, representational work.

Thank you again so much Michael, Christine, Stephen, Dennis, George, Carole, Val, Dermot, Derek and Fiona for your lovely comments! Yes Carole, I used a straw to blow the ink.

Fiona kindly summed it up for me! Glorious colour and the spindly bit are really effective.

Black and green nicely balanced!

Well, it has to be a pine forest and I love all the small 'branches' from the black ink.

It's got all the elements of light between the trees and twiggy shapes but made much more interesting Satu.

Thank you very much Ivan, Alan and Marjorie!

Lovely Satu - I too, see patches of light through a forest of trees. The unpredictable results of blowing through straws is quite exciting isn't it?

Posted by Julie Bosley on Mon 26 Oct 17:36:29

Many thanks Julie! Yes, it's very exiting with unpredictable results.
