Playing with Line

 

I’ve been exploring the use of line in painting recently.
I’m working on new exercises to introduce in a class I’ll be teaching this fall at North River Arts (TBA soon)

I used a Japanese brush pen over the gouache to
delineate the shapes.
Then I used the sketch as a reference for this 20 x 20 oil.

Still a work in progress…I’m tempted to go in with thin black lines.
We’ll see.

Bare bones and bit make-shift but functional.
