#60 of my 2024 'Drawing A Day for Good' series. I decided to do the 'Drawing A Day' project in 2024, offering an unframed watercolor and ink artwork for sale each day at the price of $100. The profits are donated to good causes that I choose.
I have been drawing almost every day as a visual meditation. I draw into the teaching texture sampler or simple paintings that I created when I teach my watercolor workshops. When I sit down to draw I look at the (often) abstract watercolor samplers and 'find' an image to draw out or enhance.
In the case of this piece, I went as far as I could with black ink and then brought in the opaque inks of gel pens to enhance the image. You can see the before of the watercolor abstract, the image with just black ink, and the final image with opaque gel pen used to enhance the whole image.
I originally planned to do the project for at least 30 days but I have decided to continue for a while longer since its still fun. Let's see how long I can keep this up...
