克羅斯比鋼筆和墨水畫與水彩

當我的“莎拉”圖紙上首次展出當代藝術的肯珀博物館，創始人的妻子感激它，並邀請我去創造她的丈夫，高誠，對藝術的一個男人和巨大的靠山巨型的類似真人大小的畫像。Theyloved this portrait and it was later purchased by the museum fortheir permanent collection .他們喜歡這幅畫像，它後來被博物館為他們購買的永久收藏。

這裡有一個“重訪”來的做法我很感興趣的是十多年前 -黑線對色彩 - 靈感來自廣重等浮世繪藝術家（和漫畫書我童年的時候，我愛）...

1996單版畫用黑墨水在平坦的色區我的妻子，琳達和自畫像
eachimage about 16 x 11 inches每個影象約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.我設計的形象，包括三個平色，粉紅色，藍色和棕褐色的水彩來畫，然後與彎彎曲曲的交叉陰影線圖我一直在開發，在過去幾年裡覆蓋。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.我裝鉛筆在我發明了把我的墨水筆和畫的顏色區域輪廓的小玩意兒，然後塗起來很鬆散的水彩洗，用固定架掩蓋的輪廓。Thenmounted pen(s) and drew the image asusual.然後裝筆（次），並提請影象像往常一樣。

我覺得顏色竟然是非常有效的，儘管在繪畫過程中主要是由紙張不平阻尼討厭的技術問題。 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.這引起了一些擴充套件的拱門300英鎊熱壓水彩紙這並沒有完全乾燥後收縮大張，離開這已經持續到成品件半打大皺紋。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.今天上午晚些時候，我會打好的檔案倒扁，小心挫傷了（我的墨水都是水性和非常resoluble，所以我必須要小心，不要經過幾百小時的工作，毀了繪圖，然後看看是否我可以按紙背到平用燒紅的鐵。

另一個討厭的技術問題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?!?難道你不想象，設計為能在水彩紙遮蔽用的產品將是不染色？！？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!我建議用我的地方迪克·布利克一個固定架 - 他們家的品牌，同樣的東西，因為溫莎牛頓（其中我發現還漬紙） -但它留下了一個沉悶的紅褐色的“暈輪”無論我申請吧！ UGH! UGH！ Blick carries a WHITE frisket which I hope (nexttime) will be non-staining!布利克帶有白色固定架，我希望（下一次）將不染色！Verydisappointing!很失望！
