Mindy's Drawing from 6/13/08

snakegrass, 9" x 12", ink and pencil on paper

I was very interested in the way in which the watercolor wash in Carianne's last drawing was both uncontrolled (the mixing of the wet pigment) and controlled (the wash itself was a particular shape). For some reason this way of working seemed suddenly such a beautiful expression of the simultaneous comingling of the two ways of working. Here, my ink wash takes the shape of snakegrass, while within the wash, colors mingle and move in an uncontrolled manner.
