Colorful painted wood
Before adding any color, I used my carving tool and gouged out some knicks and lines out of the wood panel. It helped to give the ink a place to play.
Ink and paint on wood
I had some 4″x 4″ wood squares that needed some paint. The text was taken from some old airplane maintenance books from the 40’s. I love combining the technical verbiage with the loose, colorful imagery.
