A Plan Comes Together-ish
There was a lot of pottering about with various things today, and the most photogenic is this one. I have nailed the printing and transparency aspect of this idea, and now I have to get the fiddly, very thin, very wet, very much wanting to cling to itself thing to land where I want it…

Multiple Excitement
I’m excited about multiple things today. The first thing to note is that I cut another strip off that bolt of cotton canvas fabric I’ve had in my art/craft/hoard stash since the nineties and primed it. The pieces I primed a while back are still waiting for paint, but they are smaller, and I’m going…

Planting Ideas and Things
I had an unplanned stint in the garden today because a pot luck box of Sedum cuttings arrived a day early. I’m not complaining. The box was stuffed with way more plants than I was expecting, and I’m not complaining about that either. Some of them are so tiny, but they are easy to get…

Inkjet Image Transfer Concertina
I’m back in the studio today, but yesterday definitely filled the well, and there are lots of ideas, and I’m making notes of them, because I’m incredibly talented at generating ideas and forgetting them within a day. I’m still playing with image transfer ideas and techniques, specifically inkjet print image transfers. The portrait prints I…

Ongoing Experiment
I thought I had solved the bleeding ink conundrum, but it was not the ink setting on the printer that caused the bleed. I had fun doing this, even though it’s technically a failure. It’s not a failure, I don’t look at art experiments that way. I have two theories. The first is that maybe…

Transparency Discrepancy
Today’s timed sketch was done using only the Blackwing 602 pencil and my shammy cloth. I think I prefer mixing the types of graphite. Now onto the main event – experimenting with the transparencies. Yesterday I printed my drawing onto tissue paper, and it was very fragile, but gave a promising result, even on a…

Sketch and Image Transfer
This was a fun sketch from a lovely reference. I used one of my new Blackwing 602 pencils, which I am developing a crush on, and my chunky Pitt Graphite Crayon, and a tortillon for blending. Later on I was musing about things, in particular revisiting thoughts about using my own photographs either as gel…
