Linespirations, Pt. VI

Almost there! These are actually leftovers of my final lines, I purposely made them all bigger than the lines’ dimensions so I can just cut away the parts I didn’t want. I felt like the cut-off parts deserve a spotlight of their own, so here goes! These ones are exceptions, though- they were […]

Linespirations, Pt. V

Was doing this for embarassed line but was too dark in the middle and it’s so hard to get a subtle grey with this technique so I abandoned it. Ink on folded paper I’m totally loving the pattern it produced. Brushwork for exhausted, also abandoned it cause it looks a little too energetic for an […]

Linespirations, Pt. II

Hilma Af Klint feat. Sol Lewitt: Circles and circles and obsessively straight lines. I ship them. It’s kind of therapeutic doing these cause you don’t really need to think? I know you’re probably supposed to think about the composition or something of the sort, but while doing this I guess it was really nice to […]

Linespirations

Franz Kline Franz Kline’s lines are always so thick and textured that it makes me think of the ‘aggressive’ line. Sol Lewitt Sol Lewitt’s lines are always so structured and systematic. Piet Mondrian Although he was more famous for his mature works which usually consists of lines and planes in three primary colours (+monochromatic colours), […]
