Experiment with a new technique

![IMG_1220c.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYTmMBRAcJHL1oQ4RC5GXvdFjxSgqvbcN34azPewqtGfd/IMG_1220c.jpg)

I started this experiment after seeing one of my favourite artists (Allen Williams) explaining the way he uses graphite powder on a clayboard. I was too curious to try it, so I didn't have enough patience to order a clayboard and wait for it to come, so I gessoed a piece of paper and started playing with the graphite powder (mixed with water). Here is the result of this first step:

![IMG_0718.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmaesbU525YuZM2gFDTTXeo4743u6mWtxN2DudLhregRRo/IMG_0718.jpg)

The next step was to let it dry and then get rid of the excess graphite powder. This is not easy on gesso, because it is more porous than the surface I saw in Allen's video. So I got to the next step, wiping the drawing with a soft cloth. Then the fun part began: finding and inventing shapes in the patterns made by the graphite.

It's quite a messy technique and I had to wash my hands several times :)

![IMG_0789.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWWBxvrpeK8Zu4zc3YwhyLJ95bRJdkG7tszA1x3ZDTUUu/IMG_0789.jpg)

But I enjoyed a lot working on it. 
![IMG_0791.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRst6WY6kYV1ukYPvQADs8TMTiuWcvxkGE9M7qMMG8Ja3/IMG_0791.jpg)

The result was shiny and grey, the details could only be seen from a certain angle, but the fixative enhanced the contrasts in the image and I am pretty happy with the final image. 

The drawing is 19x27cm, signed on the back (because I forgot to sign it before applying the fixative :))

Now I have another one in progress, on gessoed board. I hope to find the time to write about it when it's done.

That's all for today :) Take care and be creative!
Hugs,
Alina

Such an interesting technique!  The face on the right I find especially intriguing, and I kept looking at the original piece to see if I could see how you ended up with that!  So cool!  Thanks for sharing ;)

Thank you! I am pretty crazy about putting faces in my drawings, so I put it there even if I didn't have any hint in the original image :)

Dark, mysterious, surrealistic, and beautiful, these combination is my favourite. Very nice art, detailed and deftly executed.

This is similar to the way I work. Also, use erasers to work back into light. Clayboard is good of course, but a gessoed panel will do as well. Try charcoal next - it is not shiny like graphite, and the darks are much darker. Tip about charcoal: the powder does not work as well, it comes off too easy. A soft broad charcoal stick works good to just lay down some dark areas, then spray water and work it with your fingers. Another tip: use surgical gloves.  
This is one of the pieces I uploaded: https://steemit.com/artzone/@thermoplastic/untitled-charcoal-1
For the signature: you can always add over top of fixative, then spray it again.

Great tips, thank you very much! I do have some charcoal sticks waiting to be put to work, so this might be my next experiment.  I love your drawing,  some parts of it look like those images of microscopic creatures seen through the electron microscope.  The dark shapes in the low right corner are my favourite part of it. I can't wait to try it!

Wow, I am so intrigued by this process!  Kind of reminds me of the old Greek ladies that would read coffee cups - the designs left from the coffee sediment would create a design that told a story of the one that drank from the cup.  But this graphite technique takes it to a new level of allowing the observer to write the ending.  

I want to try this!   Looking forward to your next project post.

Really beautiful, @alina.iftime

Oh, indeed, in my country (Romania) there were a lot of old ladies who did that! I even knew the meaning of a few symbols myself when I was a kid (I think a cat somewhere in the handle area was a bad sign... or was it good?) :) I had totally forgotten about this, those patterns look indeed so similar! If you want to know more about the technique, look up Allen Williams Studio on Youtube.

I didn't realize that this was a common practice in Romania, too.   :)  I always got the impression (as a child) that it was a secret type of practice because anytime I asked about it, I was shewed away (not old enough) so I didn't learn the symbols but I thought it was fascinating and wanted to know more about it.  I wonder if it is still being practiced or a dying art.  I'm curious now.

I did look up Allen Williams' work - he is an amazing artist - content is a little too disturbing to me though ;)  But I can certainly respect his skill.
