Carrie Robe – watercolors and inks on paper 77 x 44 inches

September 3, 2013 By Mike Lyon

I painted a large sheet of heavy watercolor paper with numerous layers of red, yellow, and blue pigments in water, then drew in black and white ink. I particularly like that one hand is drawn only with black and the other only with white while the interplay of the squiggly ink hatches recreate the illusion of Carrie acting all girlie.
