Day 1: I am starting a Sumi Ink self portrait. I have never worked with Sumi Ink or even painted in ink so this will be a new experience for me and will be interesting. I have started the the same way I start my oil paintings which is by lightly sketching the picture onto the water color paper. It makes it a lot easier to divide the paper into quadrants. I split it up into eight sections and I did the same on the photo. This makes it easier to scale the photo onto the paper. I then used the quadrants to sketch the photo as eight separate pieces instead of one big one. Next time I will start using ink to start finding the right tones.
