Ink & Watercolor

(C) 2019 Dale DiMauro

In the past I have explored combining ink with watercolor. This combination I find appealing. You have the freedom and atmospheric qualities of the washes over the structure the pen provides.

Lately, I have been drawing with my fountain pen on a daily basis. Primarily to improve upon capturing the proportions of the human figure. This has got me to thinking about painting with pen and ink again.

This watercolor I did a while back of an imaginary landscape. The water on the land is the guiding principal of the culture in all its forms. Whether water meanders across the valleys, gathers into pools, nourishes the crops or refreshes in the form of fountains etc.
