Wash and Brush
|
Is the process in which ink is diluted with water and applied by brush in broad, flat areas. It helps define volume and form by adding shadow, but it also creates a visual pattern of alternating light and dark elements that helps make the drawing much more dynamic than it would otherwise be. It is as if the ability to draw this rapidly is the result of knowing very well who it is one draws.
Ex. A sleeping Woman 1660-69 by Rembrandt Van Rijin A long tradition in the East, perhaps more popular because the brush is used to write, as in Chinese calligraphy. Ex. Liang Kai. The Poet Li Bo Walking and Chanting a Poem, Southern Song Dynasty. c. 1200 |
