A mixed media rowan leaf print using inks and paint pen.

The process:

I painted my background first with inks, next I painted a leaf with inks and made a print on the paper. I repeated this process to created two layers of colour, blue and violet. Once dry I developed the print further with paint pen, bringing out the shape of the leaf and details like veins with violet and white.

The details:

Outcome

This image was taken from a large mixed media sample piece that I created using coloured Inks on paper with different leaf and feather prints. I have also used salt and wax in some areas. You can see another example of work in this series from my post Experiments in ink- white rowan leaf.
