birch grove Drawing

Graphic work in the grisaille technique, I am executed in black ink on white paper. For drawing I used calligraphic brushes made of natural hair. Each brush has its own character and I use them to the maximum of their properties and capabilities. I applied pure ink lines and spots on dry paper, and also added water to achieve more subtle shades and gradations of gray. I painted the picture by feeling without relying on nature. Guided only by memories, I created a composition close to abstraction. The plot was born impromptu, without preparatory drawings "in one go". I also used a combination of different textures and contrasts to convey the texture of the trees. The process of drawing this plot is more like a meditation, where I entrusted part of the process to materials and tools. I like laconic compositions with a lot of white space, leaving room for the viewer's imagination. The philosophy of the Japanese graphic technique suiboku-ga is close to me. A small signature I am hidden in the branches of the trees. Eliminated the standard signature in the lower right corner of the picture, so as not to disrupt the composition and general idea. On the back of a sheet with drawings, the author's signature, date, place of creation and other accompanying information.
