Absorption Painting

This is part of a series that begins with long pen scribbles that shoot across the paper, then cut back sharply or crackle across the landscape, almost vein-like. It's part topographical map, part web, part nebulae. I start with ink gel pen, then use coffee to bleed the ink across the page. I then take a journey through the waves and stitches of color, adding accents and details until the feeling is complete.
