I am liking your approach to things, not going in with color, focusing on line and value.
very nice work

Wonderful works man,
Would love to know a little more about your painting process...
If you can shed some light on that, it would be awesome

[J Love]

Thanks, Bhanu. For the black and white image above I just did a light drawing in pencil and then used washes of black ink at different values, leaving areas wet and dropping ink into them, trying to see what would happen - some happy accidents and some not so happy. For the other, I did a drawing with a calligraphy nib and black ink and then sealed it by rolling matte medium across it. The ink was water-soluble so it smeared when I rolled the medium across it creating an interesting texture and some softer edges. Then I just put a warm acrylic wash on top of it and then added in some lights.

Here are some recent sketchbook pages:

Hmmm, really interesting process I would say, IT really brings out the spontaneity in you I guess.
Lovely update and thanks for the reply man.

Love your stuff, alot of taste in them. Reminds me of Sterling, Klimt, those kind of guys. I especially like your portrait experimental studies - awesome shapes and images... Very creative.
