This week's Illustration Friday topic is TRIBUTE which inspired this art nouveau tribute to Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Doing a Google Image search under his name will show an abundance of gorgeous stained glass and furniture that he designed.
This particular piece of his matches the colors for the current Play Date Cafe Challenge of Black/White and a Splash of Pink.
India ink applied directly through the dropper allowed the thick lines. My first attempt was with Tulip Black Dimensional Paint which was a spectacular failure! Wondering if the problem is the bottle of paint I have - it keeps coming out in tiny streams and then HUGE globs - the tip doesn't seem to be blocked though. Would have made really cool faux leading more like a stained glass window had it worked.
Colored the pink with a Neocolor crayon and a waterpen.
Linking to Sunday Sketches,

Looks very bright and lovely!
Oh I love it! Love how you used ink to make it look almost as a print. Amazing!
visiting from APR - I am a big fan of CRM so I love what you have done here, particularly the pink,*wow* :0) Mo
Really nice. A friend of mine had her embroidery featured in a book about mackintosh. Hmm, must dig it out and have another look at it.
I love makintosh's work - i was lucky enough to go to his house when we lived in Scotland - i think your painting is a lovely and fitting tribute to his work x
Love your inspiration and of course the PINK! A lovely tribute!
Your CRM piece is beautifully done - I can never get ink to go where I want it as you have done - it always gives me blogs. I love the simplicity of this piece, you have made a great tribute, and it reminds me of our visit to the Mackintosh house in Glasgow, so a nice memory, thank you.
Enjoy reading your process. It's fun to see how your art developed :)
