Drawing Surgery: Experiments With Ink, Gouache, and Observational Drawing
For my first drawing surgery project blog post I've focused on observational drawing and experimented with ink and gouache. I'd never used gouache before today, but have found that it is a lot like working with watercolour.
This drawing was done after observing, sketching, and photographing swans in Hollyrood Park. I wanted to use ink and a brush to draw loose, free lines and capture the movement seen in the swans on the water. Although it was tempting to add a lot more detail to the birds, I kept them simple with quick brush strokes to try something different and achieve a different effect.
