playing neutral

 food grade water soluble tannins used in the wine industry. the melange is tara,quebracho and chestnut.

the color is a pleasant brown-beige.

treated with an acid modifier turns it into a warm golden brown. planning next warp.

same bath.dumped this linen scrap and left it unattended for a couple of weeks.came out beige brown. added some iron to a pot with water and heated it slightly. turned into a fawn grey.

looks like this will be a season of browns, beiges and neutrals.

the flow.

immensely enjoying sumi-e. practicing  drawing the orchid.terrible attempts need to practice pressure/ flow which basically is the key. also discovered that when trying to copy the models it's a mess., when i let go and go with the flow it's much better. if i get obsessed i won't do anything else. want to keep it ink and paper no color yet. color can draw attention as it's effective,but i want to understand the technique first and then add bells and whistles.
