@fanad-art.bsky.socialI often talk about what I do not as painting, but as a conversation between me, the inks and the surface I'm working on.
Here's a prime example of what I mean!
@lorcancassidy.bsky.social
@fanad-art.bsky.socialThree new inks ready to go to my studio tomorrow.
The 2 variants of cochineal will replace inks sold over the summer. The delicate green is an experiment with mixing two of my existing inks - gorse and ultramarine.
Such rich colours....

@fanad-art.bsky.socialI found a pebble amid the gravel of my drive which seemed promising, and turned it, slowly, into an ink.
It's beautiful - a gorgeous, soulful earthy brown.
The earth is a miracle.
I wish we treated it with more respect.
@fanad-art.bsky.socialThis is a small canvas (20cm sq) with dry mineral pigments (ochres, umbers, siennas) rubbed into it, then home made mimosa ink poured on top. There's highlights made with homemade alcohol-based turmeric ink.
It's a very lovely combination of textures.

@motherfen.bsky.socialTrust the process, they said. So naturally I made him increasingly orange and feral xD
