Exact line, false world
The surreal ink drawing assembles things from splinters of reality, as in a dream. Surreal ink drawings in mixed media for sale reveal precise line and enigmatic scenes.
Precisely because the drawing is exact, the impossible feels real. A house with wings, a face as a landscape, a room that opens into itself: drawn with a fine nib, such motifs force a long look. Hatching shows shadows that belong to no light source.

Tinted with color
Ink drawings are often softened with watercolor or pastel so scenes seem gentler. The color lies under or beside the line and never becomes the lead. Ask for detail shots if you want to know how finely the sheet is worked.
Hanging
Surreal drawings are mostly small to medium and gain from a wide mat. In a row of several sheets a pictorial story emerges. Protect the ink from sun and damp air so that the black stays deep.
