This painting is a tangled web of black ink lines on light paper. The marks twist and branch like roots or veins, filling the whole sheet without clear shapes. Some areas are dense, others sparse, but everything feels connected. The ink looks like it was applied with a brush or pen, layered in quick, uneven strokes. The paper has a rough, handmade texture that makes the lines stand out. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build texture with lines.
