Ink wash on museum board 2008
The medium is Higgins black magic india ink and Higgins drawing ink (Red) applied in broad gestural strokes with the dark areas being built up through layers and increasing the amount of pigment in the wash. The red wash was applied last to bring it more to the forefront via the overlapping areas of the image. A drybrush 'swash' of dirty black / red mix is meant to reference the blood spray at the moment of execution.
As always, I welcome and appreciate any comments on the artwork.
