Achieving a Particular Drawing Style on Surface
Interested in in producing uneven line work that bleeds somewhat (as shown in details on this illustration by Warhol and another by Ben Shahn). Any experience or where to start?
Have recently learned how to scratch through wax for inlay line work, but would prefer something looser-looking. I'm thinking slip trailers could maybe produce this. Or perhaps lightly spraying bisque ware with water before drawing? Dipping a crow quill type pen into a stain to use like ink? One clay better than ano
If you are trying different brushes & handling techniques there is a Chinese calligraphy practice paper/cloth that you can draw on with a water filled brush. When wet it gives a dark image which slowly fades as it dries. Often called magic-paper/cloth. Sometimes it has guide-lines for calligraphy, but plain sheets are also available.
PS another sort of specialised brush
