  • A Plan Comes Together-ish

    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

    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…

    Making a Transparency Using an Inkjet Print (cont.)

    I was thinking I had probably exhausted the options for this deep-dive, other than honing my skills with the application process, and I was thinking I was satisfied with my discoveries. Then I had an idea. I wasn’t even thinking about art, or this process, or anything at all to do with art, I was…

    Image Transfer Transparencies Winners and Losers

    I have been testing an inkjet image of this drawing which was printed on copy paper the same day I made prints using all the different papers. The test is simply spraying a small section of the print with water, and seeing what happens. The first test was the day the print was made, and…

  • Hung Out To Dry

    Hung Out To Dry

    I pulled out every transparent, or potentially transparent, paper I could think of, and put them through the printer. They are all quite thin, so needed to be attached to a carrier paper, so there was some fiddling, and trimming going on. I’ve printed the same image with the same printer settings on all eight…

    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

    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…
