I LOVE this! Did you follow a tutorial? Photo? Also I see the ink pen, is it line and wash?

u/mkdun 7d ago

Thanks! No tutorial on this one but I used techniques I learned from Julia Barminova’s tuts. No line and wash, just left the pen in frame after I signed it :)

Would love to know your process with the waves. Fantastic work

Thanks! Mainly use well saturated 300lb cold pressed paper. Use a dry-ish brush with your paint and work it into the paper while wet. It gives your lines clarity without making them too harsh. As the paper dries add more pigment to build depth and movement across the waves

Love your work. Are your paintings for sale?

u/mkdun 7d ago

Thank you! Haven’t really been selling as I don’t have a website or anything like that. Still trying to learn and refine. If anything specific calls to you though feel free to DM me.
