"Il Carosello Divino" pen/ink drawing, creation process from sketch to Art (not time lapse).

“Il Carosello Divino”
or the “Carousel V”, belongs to “Carousel” series.
2022, pen and ink and acrylic on canvas, 24”X60”
Creation process captured, from sketch to Art (not time lapse).
"People came from the prairie, they came from the void,
They brought their pennies and are ready to pay.
A butcher or a beaver, there is only one boat -
Decide are you in or you stay.
They are happy, they have what they dreamed about,
It’s a Merry-Go-Round, it’s a Roundabout,
Revolver, whatever you say
With you or without
There’s always a crowd
You’re welcome to CAROUSEL!"

Symphony is a proper word, I've been in opera mood while while working on this one.

Wonderful and fun image. How do you clean the charcoal off?

[@studiowebsite]

I used charcoal only when drawing a draft. Then I fixed it and transferred the draft on canvas with tracing paper, so actual drawing was made on canvas.

[@davefletch3063]

@@studiowebsite oh, that makes sense. I was thinking you had some magic technique to remove charcoal dust. I really enjoy your work, glad the algorithm brought me your video

[@studiowebsite]

No magic, just a labor :)

If this is not a time lapse, you have the fastest drawing hands I've ever seen 😂😂

[@studiowebsite]

Time lapse indeed :) still I have to work fast

[@romelmadrayart]

Curious what ink and process you used to get such flat black washes, I find ink challenging to use because the drying time is so fast that there is a layer of streaking unless you dilute with water then there is the painstaking process of relayering every time to get layers of grey to build up to black. Watersoluable graphite streaking and shiney as well.

[@studiowebsite]

Thank you! Please don't be confused by the black background mushroom shape - it is painted with black acrylic. That's why it seems very solid and really black, unlike the darkest areas of pen/ink drawing which are rather dark grey.

[@romelmadray6706]

@@studiowebsiteThanks, I can see that there is a lot of work there. for me it is a bit surreal but also bit unsettling. For some reason I am thinking of the Divine Comedy or another book called the Infernal Parade. It has a strong link in my mind to extracts from Bruegel The Elder or even Bosch.

[@studiowebsite]

Right, the title refers to Divine Comedy, and Bruegel and Bosh are in my top-ten :)

очень круто, с богатейшей выдумкой, жаль, что нет кусочков таймлапса

[@studiowebsite]

Thank you! Yes, time-lapse would be good.

[@eyesontheinside5776]

Divino not divina

[@studiowebsite]

Sorry - translated from "divine carousel" with Google, having "Divine Comedy" in mind. Now I see "Carosello" ends with -o, so it is masculine gender and instead of "divina" might have "divino". Thank you for pointing on that mistake!

[@studiowebsite]

Fixed! Thanks again.
