Top of the World

18’‘by 20’’ Ink and Black and White Watercolor painting

This is # 1 in a series of rocks and mountain cliffs.
Technique inspired by Qu Lei Lei,wrinkling or crinkling is used to provide texture. Crushed paper is used after balling it up and flattening it.
Creases are made and then gently run a brush over the high points. The majority of these disappear when mounted. Ink Blotting is also done with this method.

Top of the World belongs to the following groups:

Complex Simplicity of Art, Artists of the Orient, Ebony and Ivory, Happy Haven, NORTHWEST ARTISTS (U.S.), Pacific Northwest Art, The Drawing Board and United States

How was this done Vickie? It is very intriguing…almost 3d in feeling…massive impression of stone…

I used the wrinkle effects and ink,watercolor when I put it into the computer it kind of smoothed it out the origional looks much more like rock.

This one was done after I did one in ink and decided that I liked the wrinkle art better. It brings out the texture to a 3D almost.I like the depth it gives.
