克罗斯比钢笔和墨水画与水彩

当我的“莎拉”图纸上首次展出当代艺术的肯珀博物馆，创始人的妻子感激它，并邀请我去创造她的丈夫，高诚，对艺术的一个男人和巨大的靠山巨型的类似真人大小的画像。Theyloved this portrait and it was later purchased by the museum fortheir permanent collection .他们喜欢这幅画像，它后来被博物馆为他们购买的永久收藏。

这里有一个“重访”来的做法我很感兴趣的是十多年前 -黑线对色彩 - 灵感来自广重等浮世绘艺术家（和漫画书我童年的时候，我爱）...

1996单版画用黑墨水在平坦的色区我的妻子，琳达和自画像
eachimage about 16 x 11 inches每个图像约16×11英寸

Idesigned the image to include three flat colors, pink, blue, andtan to be painted in watercolor and then overlaid with the squigglycross-hatched line drawing I've been developing over the pastseveralyears.我设计的形象，包括三个平色，粉红色，蓝色和棕褐色的水彩来画，然后与弯弯曲曲的交叉阴影线图我一直在开发，在过去几年里覆盖。Imounted a pencil in the gizmo I invented to carry my ink-pens anddrew the color area outlines, then painted them very loosely withwatercolor washes, using frisket to mask theoutlines.我装铅笔在我发明了把我的墨水笔和画的颜色区域轮廓的小玩意儿，然后涂起来很松散的水彩洗，用固定架掩盖的轮廓。Thenmounted pen(s) and drew the image asusual.然后装笔（次），并提请图像像往常一样。

我觉得颜色竟然是非常有效的，尽管在绘画过程中主要是由纸张不平阻尼讨厌的技术问题。 That caused some expansion in the large sheet ofArches 300 lb. hot press watercolor paper which didn't completelyshrink upon drying and left a half dozen large wrinkles which havepersisted into the finishedpiece.这引起了一些扩展的拱门300英镑热压水彩纸这并没有完全干燥后收缩大张，离开这已经持续到成品件半打大皱纹。Laterthis morning I'll lay the paper down flat, dampen it carefully (myinks are all water borne and very resoluble, so I'll have to becareful not to ruin the drawing after several hundred hours ofwork, and then see whether I can press the paper back to flat witha hotiron.今天上午晚些时候，我会打好的文件倒扁，小心挫伤了（我的墨水都是水性和非常resoluble，所以我必须要小心，不要经过几百小时的工作，毁了绘图，然后看看是否我可以按纸背到平用烧红的铁。

另一个讨厌的技术问题是由搜身固定架造成的！！ Wouldn'tyou imagine that a product designed to be used on watercolor paperfor masking would benon-staining?!?难道你不想象，设计为能在水彩纸遮蔽用的产品将是不染色？！？I used afrisket recommended by my local Dick Blick — their house brand,same stuff as Windsor Newton (which I've found also stains thepaper) — but it left a dull reddish-brown 'halo' wherever I appliedit!我建议用我的地方迪克·布利克一个固定架 - 他们家的品牌，同样的东西，因为温莎牛顿（其中我发现还渍纸） -但它留下了一个沉闷的红褐色的“晕轮”无论我申请吧！ UGH! UGH！ Blick carries a WHITE frisket which I hope (nexttime) will be non-staining!布利克带有白色固定架，我希望（下一次）将不染色！Verydisappointing!很失望！
