It was an exploration on the alphabet and drawing style of Art Nouveau. I used both India ink and watercolor. It was by far my favorite project.

Black ink was used for lettering. The words read, you can't say all lives matter until black lives matter. Numerous skin tones fill in the letters and spaces with color.

The word DOPAMINE is painted in watercolor 11 times on the page, each word slightly overlapping the one above it. The color shifts from green at the top to blue in the middle and purple on the bottom. The letters are outlined in graphite.
