Color Reduction Prints

So finally, here is my first project for my BEGINNING print-making class.  Quite the beginner project, eh?  



I guess I learned a lot from doing them, and I had to do two instead of just one.  And I have some ideas for some more, but no....we've now moved on to collagraph.  I disapprove of this a little of this here, a little of that there kind of class.  It really takes me awhile to get into something, and to really see what I might be able to do with it, and then to do it.

So we'll see.....

  2. I agree, these are wonderful. I like classes that skip around though. When I find a technique I like, I explore it on my own outside of class.

  3. this is interesting, but personally I prefer less vivid=black&white prints. I think this technique goes better in B&W, the color can sometimes distract from attention , it is just as a photograph - I prefer monochrome portraits . Keep going on, I am wondering what you show us next!

  7. These are both great, and your first project too! I really like the movement (and is that Bob Dylan blowing in the wind in the second?). I did a bit of print-making in art college and my first attempts in color were totally dismal.
