Trees in Ink

Messing around with Yatsumoto Traditional Chinese ink, to capture some images of trees at the local nature center.

In both cases, I started very abstract, with sponge work in light diluted ink. then came back in with more detail and darker values to capture the shapes I wanted.

Really liked these experiments!  Will try more soon.

I'd like to try with colored inks.  Maybe acrylic inks?
