Wave Study Ripples

This is an original, hand-drawn wave study inspired by my time boating in Tampa Bay. A big part of understanding the magic of the sea is to study the water's surface. When the water begins to percolate there is usually a school of quick-moving fish just below the surface. 

I use permanent black ink on acid-free watercolor paper with a slightly bumpy texture. Each line travels along the paper with a variety of thicknesses as the lines bend and curve and interact with one another.

The imperfections in this study give the art a more personal and journalistic discovery of my drawings.

Approximate size of drawing: 3.5" x 4.75"
