I’ve been experimenting with making more process videos. This piece uses several types of woods glued together or as inlays to create a wooden panel that I drew on with acrylic markers.
Some things I didn’t show in the video:
Most of the wood is was cut using a laser cutter.
To get some of the colors out of a limited marker palette I squirted a few drops from different markers aside and mixed together.
I had to fill some of the gaps in between the inlays with wood filler
I applied 3 coats of transparent gesso.
These are the types of wood I used:
Torreya nucifera (カヤ) – for its yellow-gold color on the “eye” inlays
