Tim McCormack – Ink Blots & Drips: Experiments in Spontaneity & Style (Online)

Date recorded: Thursday, October 31, 2024
In this talk, Tim will demonstrate several ink recipes, adapting the ancient landscape blot methods of Japanese landscape painting and 18th century British landscape painter Alexander Cozens. By combining the abstract gestalt of blots and drips, with skillful handling of the brush, he will create landscapes and figures of the imagination. Ink is inherently dynamic and alive. Tim will explore the vibrant qualities of Diamine inks.
