Making good art takes time and an artist MUST know the materials they work with inside and out so we can push our boundaries but know our limits.

This is a study of materials: papers, pens and textures

I like the toned tan paper but the colors really pop with the white background. Take a moment to explore which colors and patterns you are attracted to most.

The black paper absorbed the ink more than I would’ve liked it to. If I wanted to really make the colors pop I’d have to trace all the lines over again.
