I Is For…

I is for…
Ink, Watercolor
I is for imagination. I is for illustration, inspiration, and the illuminated letters that decorate this sketchbook. I is for ink, intaglio, and intarsia, an inlay method of making images.
I is for indigo, indianthrone, and iron blue. I is for Indian yellow, ivory black, and iris green. I is for their intensity in color.
I is for Impressionism, Islamic art, and Intimism, the intimate views of domestic interiors. I is for inpainting, which restores damaged works to their former glory.

I is for…
Pastel Pencil over Ink
I is for imprimatura, the first thin glaze of paint applied to the canvas, and for impasto, the thick applications that go over it. I is for intonaco, the last layer of a fresco painting, and for imbrication, an overlapping pattern that’s symmetrically repeated.
I is for Ingres, Irolli, and Isabey. I is for Ilsted, Ingham, and Innes, an American landscape painter.
I is for the ingenuity of the artist.
