My class has moved on to intaglio now, which is a process I adore, but my brain is still in reduction linocut mode (as it's been for the past month) and I'm not sure I'm ready to stop.....</div>

I think I'm getting the process down. In this last one, I was going to stop after the dark green layer, because it looked really really cool with just the two greens, but I carved away for the black, and was going to print just one, to see what it looked like, and I'm really glad I did, because the black adds a lot of depth.</div>

This one, my next-to-last one, I'm not so happy with. The red seems just TOO shocking. I'd almost like to do this design again, with some other colors, and also carving more texture into it. Maybe I will. I thought I was done with these, but maybe I'm not.....</div>

I'm planning on doing more. I think I'll just use two colors, though, because that seems to be all that I can really process with my limited, basically black-and-white brain.<br />

In both of these, the light yellow is too light, and basically doesn't contribute anything to the overall pictures.</div>

And this one, I didn't like the dark that I started out with, so I only printed five of those, and for the rest, I carved a way a little more, and used a redder ink. I'm much happier with it this way.</div>

Here's something like the final one, though I only printed five of them, and I'm thinking I may change this to a lighter color (like red) and then do some more carving, and have the dark areas much smaller for the rest. But I'm wishing I'd made some different decisions about the white--that those areas were larger. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A return to this, one of my favorite mediums. It's a bit of a long process--draw, paint with gouache to resist the black ink, let dry thoroughly, wash over with India ink, let dry thoroughly, gently rub off gouache under warm running water, let dry thoroughly, and then finish with pen and ink. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But it's a process I love. I love the dramatic darks and lights, and the unpredictability of where and how the ink will go through the gouache, and the pen and ink lines. I love pen and ink! </div>

So I've been inspired to try a new style of drawing. This is with a bamboo skewer dipped in India ink. It's so interesting how a new process prompts one to look at subjects in a new way.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Instead of looking for dramatic darks and lights (what I usually look for when I'm drawing), this technique makes me notice contours, because it's all about line.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDaYCxnzjWYJHUmcEQ316UWrpjpnyP5bGVC5Slp1FFQ6VuPzJagrJ3Ji8GL7E491N0LmtVVPiQX78XvY3UTT3EIf99oz7-tOUje27usryVEB4dRNNls47nVJeeFr0dEAXpQsZfzVxDJ_GL/s1600/Andrew+.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDaYCxnzjWYJHUmcEQ316UWrpjpnyP5bGVC5Slp1FFQ6VuPzJagrJ3Ji8GL7E491N0LmtVVPiQX78XvY3UTT3EIf99oz7-tOUje27usryVEB4dRNNls47nVJeeFr0dEAXpQsZfzVxDJ_GL/s1600/Andrew+.jpeg" height="400" width="268" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And also, it's loose line. There's not a whole lot of control here, which means I can't be too tight, which is pretty liberating in itself. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3xQY9ATnVlWYwgxBeobyja7YYGzReRTGbdmXmS1yUjV5bw09wuYVtEic6YR-aDdDId2as5iVGNmVtRm_vgKwAO8mWLUTLTkTMPpkjoGVzuckt5_R_YpoMF07ciW968qCZ6Mmcf-_rP4dP/s1600/Exilio.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3xQY9ATnVlWYwgxBeobyja7YYGzReRTGbdmXmS1yUjV5bw09wuYVtEic6YR-aDdDId2as5iVGNmVtRm_vgKwAO8mWLUTLTkTMPpkjoGVzuckt5_R_YpoMF07ciW968qCZ6Mmcf-_rP4dP/s1600/Exilio.jpeg" height="400" width="317" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And here are three of the not-loose, and not-bamboo-skewer-dipped, drawings, which really, is what I can do during the week of parent-teacher conferences at school, where I have twelve hour days. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

They're pleasing too, but in a different way. All three of these were drawn with the reference photo upside-down, which also gets me to look in a different way.</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When you're drawing upside-down, there is no "naming of the parts". It's all about shapes and direction and tone, because your brain can't "see" the parts that way. And this is good too... </div>

This is really much more of a big deal than it might seem--me trying to learn how to paint. I am so much a black-and-white person, that this feels very awkward. I am TRYING to learn how to handle color--and not have things look garish or odd or whatever. </div>

And this third one is the first painting (as in all painting and not just part of some mixed media thing) that I've done in over 30 years. Acrylic, even. It's small, 4 X 6 inches, and now that I'm looking at it again, I see that the eyes are too close together, and there's some dark parts that are too dark, but for the first time in almost forever....I'm not unhappy.</div>
