the Art of Catalin Bridinel

New sketchbook, new scanner… new year. Made with a Pentel brush pen and colored with Koh-I-Noor watercolour pencils.

Painted on Arches torchon (rough) 300 gram paper with Cotman watercolours. After it was painted I stroke the edges with a nib pen and manuscript drawing ink. I’d love to experiment with putting the ink in first but I’m having a hard time finding waterproof ink.

Just playing with the hake brush that came by mail today. What better way to test it than in a Sumi-e style painting.

The goat hairs react differently than the brushes I’m used to but it gets some cool effects and packs a lot of color. I think I like it. Now I have to see how it can integrate in my workflow.

My website got featured on http://bestwebgallery.com/ on Friday and I had a ton of visitors over the weekend. As such I felt obligated to post something new. So here it is and thank you to bestwebgallery.

After a lazy Sunday I just had to splash some paint around. And while spring is not quite here yet it had to be colorful.
