Like any other weekend, this weekend is going to be busy and hectic, but I am determined to complete everything I need to do. To help myself get the blog done for the weekend, I'm starting it before I do the work and as I work I'll add on to it once I've actually done the work.
That said, I am working on a woodblock test! I'm excited to try this. Learning and experiencing new media techniques are very zen for me... when they're working. I think this is because of the charge I get from learning and accomplishing something new. I'm that much more pumped to go do other artwork.
I'm starting small and working on a block that is maybe five by five to get the experience of carving a piece of wood. It has been a very unique experience I haven't done any carving before, but it's a very calming time. The block itself may or may not be successful when I go to print it. We'll find out next week, but I have high hopes. I have already used this image in litho prints and am planning to go back into them to get some more depth in them. I have hopes that the aid of the grain will give this piece a texture that the others do not. Texture in my drawing is definitely my thing, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
