Week 10: Print Exchanged

This week I finalized the line series. I particularly like the way that these show the interaction between the two layers of lines. I’m surprised how much depth I was able to add when printing black on black.

I made each of these prints as an edition of 5.

This weekend I saw a very pretty sign on the side of the road and wanted to recreate it. I’m going to try different ways to color it in - colored pencil, watercolor, maybe a monotype if I’m precise enough.

We also finally got everybody together to open our prints together. It was wonderful seeing everyone, and the prints are all so beautiful!

Looking forward, I really enjoy the digital art to pronto plate workflow, and want to explore it more. There is something interesting in the tactile process of printing a digital/generated print by hand. I printed this sampler to start to explore the digital -> physical transformation.
