Drawing With Plants

[zelmirka]

Hello!

 

I am very happy discovering this group and site of magical things!

I just make documentation about ink recipes for writing a post to our common blog - with Illustrators Club from Romania.

This summer I coordonated a virtual workshop with ten book-illustrator about drawing/painting/writing with colours and inks obtained from plans. The theme of the workshop was investigating our personal childhood. We named the workshop ”Childhood.Illustrated Fieldwork”.

Although the workshop ended in september - and now we prepare an exposition - we decided to repeat this workshop every summer with children and with adults also.

Studying and investigating colours and inks of plants, making handmade instruments fro writing was very captivating and it seems endless!

 

If you would like to visit our blog - our recipes, techniques, drawings- you can see here

I will look for all who is using this kind of materials. I think I (and our group) have to learn a lot. And this learning has a lot of fun, surprises, beautiful secrets.

Welcome! I like the painting and especially the inks! Can you tell, please, what ink/dye was used for the blue-grey stripes of the cat?

[nicholasyeo]

Wow, what a fascinating illustration! Children would love it... The earthy colours are also pleasing to the eyes.
