Although I have not started yet, I'm going to draw a contour portrait of overlapping butterflies. My background is white paper splatter painted with ink. I taped strips of it before painting so that strips were left white. I was aiming for an abstract and exciting look similar to those of Jackson Pollock who experimented with splatter paint. While his splatter paint was denser than mine, I like the simplicity of it. His work uses more lines and splashes while mien is a series of dots that were splattered onto the paper. For my contour, I want to use a dark charcoal for the butterflies. The black will stand out against the bright background and will make a dramatic effect. While this project started leaning towards paper staining using water, I wanted to go in a different direction and simply use ink without water and go more into painting than staining.
