“Castoff” is India Ink and pastel art. The light soft approach with the color from the pastel was a conscious choice. It allows the art created by the ink to hold the total picture together like a true drawing. Notice the bow of the boat resting in the negative space created by the border.
"Castoff" original and prints are available to purchase in our Seashore Gallery.
Things have not been happening in my studio. Hand surgery on my right hand has put a damper on my ability to hold the ink pen and control placing the dots to create the image. But not all was lost. I recently felt comfortable doing a pencil sketch of my next drawing, and I began yesterday to begin creating with India Ink.
Bill Dodds Original Pen & Ink Drawings are on permanent display and available for purchase at the following locations.
