One day, One drawing - Day 251 - The Pillar - Ink drawing by Olivier Cornil

Ink & Drawing

Inspired by traditional Japanese sumi-e painting, my approach to ink drawing is based on a simple principle: making the most of a few brushstrokes.

What interests me is the balance between control and accident. Ink has a way of doing its own thing, and I rather like that.

I’m not trying to reproduce traditional sumi-e. I borrow some of its principles and experiment with brushwork, ink density, and composition in my own way.

Here is a selection of my ink drawings.
