I was using drawing ink in
my sketchbook to depict Loughborough canal, but wondered what it would be like
to draw onto a different surface using the same media. I decided to experiment
with ink on canvas. I found it more challenging drawing onto canvas because the
rough surface meant that the ink didn’t flow as well. It also caused the
drawing ink pen to get stuck occasionally, flicking small dots of ink over my
work. However, the canvas did have some positive aspects; the material allowed
me to dab or wipe damp tissue over the ink to create the water and tree
affects, whereas using this technique in my sketchbook only damaged the paper. I
also think that the drawing on canvas looks more like a final piece of work
than the drawing on paper does.
