When collages prompt ideas

Collage from one of my sumi ink experiments. I do love that dark, I have to say. I'm not normally too interested in tonal contrast (I think it's an autistic thing in me - most human eyes are attracted to tonal contrast, I just like colours). But there's something here that speaks to me.

Thumbnails

Trying to visualise landscapes that speak to me. Always inspired by the Irish coastline. I just picked a nearly-dry brush pen and thought of places that matter to me. Sky, sea, mountain. Yes. Narrowing it down. I must try this in Procreate and see if it will inspire me towards more abstract landscapes.

A kind of Notan

Yes, I am obsessed with the lily pond from the Botanic Gardens. Working from photos, which I have cropped and notanised. Going to light, medium and dark does not come naturally to me.
