Another great workshop at Aurobora over the weekend. We watched people streaming by to see the Giants play the Phillies, while munching on a beautiful ham quiche and a birthday brownie cake for one of the workshop participants. I continued to refine my xerox transfer technique, which I will post photos of tomorrow.
I started workshop #3 with the intent to spend the first day doing “warm ups.” I was thinking about how we warm up to sing, play the piano, run, etc. but we don’t really allow ourselves art warm up time. Instead, the pressure is on to create a masterpiece from the get go.
In printmaking and especially monotypes, there is even more pressure to create that amazing piece, and there is a lot of thought that really should go in to planning and executing the piece, especially if there are multiple layers to be pulled on the press. So, I worked on color, general composition and some technique for the first part of Day #1.
Here are some of the results:
