Red Playground - Finish what you started, progress 4

Pizzazz with Pigment ink

ADDING PIGMENT INK TO ENHANCE DESIGN

To give my new work pizzazz I used pigment ink in the fourth session of creating, ‘Red Playground-Finish what you started’.  Furthermore,  the new work was inspired by the earlier, ‘Can Red Come Out to Play VII.’

I used a pigment ink pen to create allover patterns, as well as give contrast and direction. Thereby, I added arrows to disperse direction to all four quadrants of the diptych. 

Next, I better balanced the contrast of the blue and yellow rows by adding pigment ink patterns to the light coloured bands. Moreover, to give the right side a bit of extra balance and direction, I drew stronger pointers and design with a chisel point pigment ink pen.

How Pigment Ink Changed the Work

This changed the work from something nice and gentle to one that proved quite confrontational.  Moreover, this development was unanticipated. However, one purpose of my new artistic journey direction was to venture in unplanned directions. Click here to go to my video on YouTube or click on the video box above. I reveal more of my thought process and decision in making this work.

The next and final session, I show the steps I took so the two sides could have a conversation with one another so they could be cohesive to one another.
