Ink Sketches
These sketches were done as studies of how different types of crosshatching can be used to produce varying shading tones from a single monotone ink.
Getting things started - Sanguine oil pencil study
I have long been a fan of the brilliant figurative work of the American Realist Artist, Robert Liberace. Liberace takes great care with the preparation of his drawing papers using rabbit skin glue, a watercolour wash and once it has dried, giving the toned sheet a coat of a solution of shellac dissolved in denatured alcohol.
A method of paper preparation can be found here http://www.fallcityfineart.org/workshops/materials/preparingpaper.pdf
I usually prepare batches of half a dozen sheets. I find that the process opens the fibres of modern machine milled papers and makes them more receptive to chalk, oil pigment or graphite. The method also gives the paper an interesting aged look.
This life drawing was completed using a Cretacolor Sanguine oil pencil on toned cartridge paper prepared using the Liberace method.
