Inked Peppers

The original pepper

Wilted Peppers/2022

For this project we were sent out to find a deformed pepper to practice different ink drawing techniques. We had to practice contour, stipple, hatching, cross-hatching, and wash. I have worked with ink before, so I was very familiar with all of the techniques. Ink is one of my favorite mediums to work with. In class I started off by making a contour of the pepper to understand the whole shape. I then worked on the stipple piece and the hatching/cross-hatching with stipple so I could understand the value that the pepper had. At home I worked on the wash piece and the combined piece. To get different values I had to water down the ink I was using.
