Imaginary Illustrations in Natural Inks

The fanciful illustrations of Scott Marr hold such detail in their organic appearance that only on close inspection do we see the hidden treasures in their sticks, leaves and feathers. Applying his colors to both wood and paper, Marr uses an array of natural mediums, from plane tree charcoal, to coriopsis flower wash and liquid chlorophyll. The combination of earthy tones and earthy subjects meet in harmony creating pieces as interesting as the outdoors itself. Make sure to watch the very interesting documentary at the bottom of this post (featuring Marr’s techniques for gathering and making his mediums); then see more of his excellent work at scottmarr.blogspot.com
