| Somewhere |
Meet "Somewhere". It's one of my abstract, semi-representational drawings on fabric with Derwent Inktense colored pencils and ink blocks. Somewhere is one of the first paintings that I began connecting to my many journal sketches. Somewhere is an image that came to me in my dreams about flying over the land that I live. In it, I fly free over the land in the my imagination represented by the sky.
Notes
Somewhere is on a 16 x 20 inch piece of treated cotton fabric. I treated the fabric with a combo of 2:1 parts water and textile medium. This helps the dyes bond to the fabric.
For the sky, I applied the ink blocks in navy, purple and cobalt onto wet fabric and then painted it with a flat angle paintbrush. The ground is sun yellow with a little mustard applied over it. The ink block daubs are poppy red, chili red and baked earth.
