ancient knot


I saw this knot in an ad in the Daniel Smith catalog, so had to draw it to figure out the crossovers. Would have been better if I'd used a ruler, but then it wouldn't look wonky (my personal art goal)

Then when I added paint to the background, I tried mixing a random "yellow deep" and an ultramarine blue--which became such mud that I blotted it off.

The result looks like aged metal of some sort. Now I like it.

Water-soluble ink, wash, and w/c
