Still Life, ink wash by Peter Dickison, copyright 2008.

Still Life on a Windowsill", ink wash, 2008.

I have always love ink drawing. Adding water and using brush makes it dramatic and liberating and fun like painting. As a drawing medium, it has the unique quality that it can not be erased or altered once down. It is a one shot deal. This is a challenge, but the immediacy lends ink wash a kind of life force. I must to put it down on the paper with conviction. This little still life in a window was done quickly, in a few minutes.
