    Ink and Surprise Texture

    Today was a migraine day, which was not fun. There was not much creativity, since my vision was twirly aura, and then I felt like rubbish. I did play with an ink that I haven’t done much with since I bought it, and I spread some acrylic ink on a canvas that I had done…

    Six In One

    Yesterday I used a background that had been done quite a while back as the substrate from my painting. Late in the evening I pulled a few more bits and pieces from my rack of part-done work to see if anything else called to me to be finished. One of things I pulled out was…

    This week’s Let’s Face It class is by Juna Biagioni, and I just adore her. The objective of the lesson was creating a portrait of a figure in motion, and I decided to go my own way with the reference image, and use one I have sketched previously, because I thought the messy, energetic monoprinting…

    Monotype Monday

    Monday is Let’s Face It class day, and this week it’s a Juna Biagioni monoprinting exercise. I love monoprinting, whether it’s gel printing or using other fun techniques, so this is my comfort zone. I’ve chosen an image I’ve sketched from before, and I have the permission of the photographer to use his photo as…
