Just playing. Stuck on fish. I blame Linda.
I cut a linoleum block using a sketch I did over Thanksgiving, then printed it onto 140 lb cold press. I painted it with gouache, which was a little tricky, because the only printing ink I had was water soluble, so it mixed in here and there with the paints. I kind of like the flat head juxtaposed against the more modeled body.
I only said that so I could use the word "juxtaposed" in a sentence.
It's 14x11", by the way...

ReplyDeleteWow. This is beautiful. A great piece of art.
ReplyDeleteFantastic job on this! Congrats on the 9 years too!
ReplyDeleteSimply GORGEOUS! You're getting more use out of the gouache than I have so far. What a cool print ... I remember the other sketch (which I loved...)
ReplyDeleteJuxtaposed. Say it five times real fast. Silly fun word!
;-D
This one really caught my eye Diahn.
ReplyDeleteLove the mix of color against the strong black lines.
