IF Swept



                                        Size:15 x 21 cms
                                        Media: Indian Ink & water colour on paper
                                        Pen: Noodler's Flex pen & Pentel waterbrush


The topic this week on IF is 'Swept'. When I first thought of the word swept, for some reason the thoughts of a mine-sweeper arrived in my head. I then considered the idea of a diver going down into the murky darkness beneath the waves on a single lifeline to disarm the mine. To add to this theory I decided to draw this with only one pen line and not take my pen off the paper until I was finished. I realise I didn't end up with an amazing Work of Art, but I wanted to share the experimental nature of this drawing!

    Thanks Hannah..I think calling things 'experimental' is sometimes a good excuse for me to not having to perfect a work! :)
