Dark Silhouettes

Shaken to the ground

Bare branches form dark silhouettes across the skyline
Fields of charcoal skeletons swaying in time to the music of the north wind
as birds cling to their moving limbs
Bones jangle in the cold
warm clothes discarded
fallen to the ground

Feathers, water and ink create the background of a dark sky. A dip pen and drawing ink draw the dark lines of the branches.

Your art is really good. I wish I could do the same or learn how to do it. 😊

Keep it up 😉

A dip pen and some drawing ink is a great place to start experimenting :D

Cool 😎 Thank you for the tip. I will try it out whenever I can get some drawing ink.

Great use of the feathers - inspires me :)

Hmm ... The picture pushes for philosophical reflections :-)

I love how the silhouette and details turned out like natural. At first I thought this is a picture . Great artwork
