In Project Pack 09 we drew some malachite with green pens and Auras. I enjoyed it so much I did a few more, one in my 'Book'. It's not green, so it's really more like agate.
Joy
I accepted a challenge to record, each day in April, one thing that brings me joy.
Paradox
Paradox is one of many favorite tangles, and I've been having fun recently with crazy Paradox. I did a page of this tangle: classic in squares, classic in triangles, striped, shaved and crazy.
Dancers
I've occasionally used styrofoam food trays to make mono-prints which I then draw on and define. At one point I sold quite a number to small magazines. I wanted to include this technique in my book as one of the methods I've used throughout my art life.
These are wonderful! Four very different styles, each uniquely delightful, all share one quality: dynamic.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jennifer. One of my aims with this book is to record various methods and styles from throughout my art life. It's been very interesting!
DeleteI absolutely love the dancers.
ReplyDeleteI haven't done an art challenge like you did for some time. Maybe I should do such a thing. Have a great weekend.
Your mono-print looks absolutely stunning! The dancers are so delicately rendered. May I ask what tools you use to dent the styrofoam? They look much finer than a dull pencil or a blank ball pen would do ...
ReplyDeleteIt's just a blunt pencil! However, I used both black and white ink to draw on the monoprint. I think that affords some of the finer lines you're noticing.
DeleteThank you very much for your reply. I really enjoy this drawing of yours! Hope I'd see more of your mono-prints in your coming posts.
