Painting - Alcohol Ink On Yupo

Description

Abstract alcohol ink on Yupo with ink doodles of flowers and leaves, by Conni Schaftenaar.

This started out as an experimental piece, putting alcohol and inks on yupo and fiddling with it with various tools, etc. After awhile, as I was manipulating the inks, I was seeing flowers and leaves peeking out at me, so I began picking them out using a pen (both micron and sharpie pens were used). It became almost a zen doodle type of thing, and it truly did put me into a zen state, totally mesmerizing to look for and bring forth shapes from the blended inks on the sheet. Thought I'd share - hope you enjoy looking closely at the various colors and patterns that emerge as you look across this entire piece!
