Divine Children: Senior Project Hopefuls.

Here are some excerpts from my Senior Project (yup, this is the big one) called "Divine Children: A Look at the Family Pet." Not sure how I feel about them yet, but I'm gonna keep making'em and see who makes the cut in the end.

I'll talk more about the project later. GOUACHE!

My First Monotypes!

Currently, I am taking an asynchronous online class called Collaborative Printmaking: A Press-Free Approach.

Basically, we'll be making prints, sending them to each other, and then doing things to the ones we receive from our classmates.

We were supposed to try making monotypes and post'em and describe our process, questions, trials, and tribulations.

Here are mine! (made using double sided matte duralar, watercolours, domestic etch proofing paper, and a drawing underneath).

The first one turned out too light. I figured the paper wasn't wet enough. But when I used more saturated paper the second time, it was TOO wet, so it turned out splotchy. In the third, I used blotted the paper and rubbed with my baren harder and longer than the first print but not as long or hard as the second. And I think it turned out pretty well!
