Tempera Still Life

I tried out the tempera and ink technique again and this time I think I had more luck. It's all about trial and error. This first attempt I used tempera and in some places it didn't work in resisting the ink. I like the dark drippy effect and now I know how to get it in the future.

This attempt worked way better because instead of tempera I used gauche it's more expensive but it definitely did the trick. Before I put the gauche on though, I sketched and painted with water colors. I really like how this turned out and I will keep experimenting with this technique.

This one worked out okay but it's on the thinner paper so I didn't scrub it as hard as I needed to, and as you can see there is still some white paint on there.
