2/ Shaped piece of stick
I chose a planed piece of wood about an inch
thick. At the end of the piece of wood I’ve
cut three channels with a sharp knife making
a row of jagged teeth. I dipped the teeth into
the ink and then made different types of
marks with the wood by dragging in different
directions and with different movements
across the paper. You will find when you first
apply the stick that, as with the feather, you
will make a more opaque line. This will
gradually thin out to a series of lines that
become less dense in tone as the ink thins.Part Three – PENS, INK, BRUSHES and PAPER
