Great discovery!

New Media. New Discovery...

I'm presently taking a Printing course and while testing my new Drypoint Etching tool on Acetate, I discovered that I can draw and keep the transparency of the acetate.  I used printing ink with a flat brush to fill in the groves and the results are amazing.  I love this.  I can't wait to try this technique with other types of paint and support.

Of course, to continue in the progress of discovery, I continued with my plan and I moved my subject to Watercolor.  Again, the "What if" presented itself and I ended up with two images.  The one on the left is the traditional Watercolor presentation and the one on the right is the What if.  I prefer the floating Apple.  The colors are much more vibrant even if I did use the exact same palette.


Finaly, I leave you today with these freehand ink drawings.
  • Question:  If the Artist says it's an apple, does that trick your mind into seeing the apple?  Do you look for the apple within?  Do titles realy matter?
