See my work here instead....

It looks like I'm not keeping up with this blog anymore.  If you're interested in seeing my work, here's where I'm posting EVERYTHING: Kansas-Coreopsis.  Here is the site with just my best work: https://theresamartindrawingsandprints.wordpress.com (this is the one I'd recommend).

More June Gouache Resist & India Ink

The rest of June...Color Reduction prints

....this is for my mother, who never comments, but who nevertheless wants to see my work on her screen....

These are all three-color reduction linoprints.  I had never imagined that I would get so into these.  I'm not normally a "color" person, but I am fascinated by this technique, and am slowly learning how to do it.

At the moment, I am more interested in the marks than anything, and have started several more which I will post when I am done.

Hands and Faces

Gouache resist and India ink

I was also making a lot of drawings with a gouache resist and India ink technique.  Here are some of THOSE--wow, this kindof seems like a lot, but that's what I get for not posting for an entire month.

So what was I doing in May?

I guess I didn't post anything, but I was very busy.  One thing I was doing was making color reduction linoprints.

Here they are:

Drawings--upside down and skewed

These are my drawing practice (I'd say "warm-up" if I continued on with something else) that I can do in the middle of the day to help myself stay sane.

These first two were drawn with the reference photo upside down--a most excellent right-brain exercise (even though the whole right/left brain thing has been scientifically debunked).

The next two were essentially blind contour drawings, with pencil, that were then rendered as realistically as possible.
