On drawing with Sharpie marker


On the days when I can't get to the studio, I'm going to try and do some things that I can take back to the studio and work with later in the week.

I did this drawing with a fine-point Sharpie marker pen. I'm going to photocopy it, spread clear tar gel over the xerox, let it dry, then immerse the whole thing in water. I can then scrape off the paper fibres, and the black drawn lines will magically be left on the transparent acrylic skin. I will then glue this to the surface of a canvas.

It sounds like magic, but it really works. I'll post photos of the process soon.
