click me get a closer look

I stretched one of my latest prints over a canvas frame.

On the surface, I first added water based black ink followed by a bleach bath applied with a brush.

I then added black oil paint to emphasize some lines, and used oil paint to add some tones.

There is also stencil work, and powdered graphite added to shadows to give a bit of shine.

And finally, layers of wax.

loving it.

Thelatest

prints came out relatively well. Still on the low contrast side, and the emulsion is still a bit spotty, but I'm pretty happy with these and I think they give me a lot to work with.

For the last three weeks, Monday night has been all nighter night at my place for doing art. It sounds like torture but I actually love it and how productive it always is. Did some painting in addition to preparing more canvases and a short writing assignment.

come on, click on it to see it bigger.

good morning sleepyheads.

Update

Painted some of the form back in to the above shitty print I got this week.

I'm starting to think it might not be garbage.

And I still keep adding paint this one.

this print came out really strange, but my teacher really likes it as is.

So im not allowed to touch it anymore.

And this one.. well i dont know. Again i was thinking trash, but of course the teacher loves it. I wasnt happy with how its coming out.

blehhh

 

Made a new canvas print today of this photograph.

As you can see, it came out like poop.

Hopefully I will have better luck next time

as I adore this image.
