My Monday was an interesting mixed studio where I was working on a few different classes at once. I did some sketching for Printmaking but nothing was really jumping out at me. I would say that I had a solid hour that was definitely dedicated to printmaking sketches that were less than successful before I gave up and moved on to other work.
However, my Wednesday was a productive, interesting day. I pulled five different prints and working on various sizes with some test sketches. I am almost certain that I finally have the correct mix of gum arabic and water down, the prints were coming out perfectly. That was an exciting discovery. I am still rushing when I go to line up the paper on the prints, but I'll get it to register right with some more practice. The typerwriter paper has been helpful to learn that more than anything.
I had a really interesting sketch happen that fits into my body-image theme. I want to use it to experiment with printing multiple colors through lithography. The basic gist is that it's a figure all wrapped up in a cloth tape. Instead of numbers there are words that the figure is thinking because of the numbers on the tape that respond to their measurements. We'll see how it goes, but I'd really love to see the figure in grey scale and the tape as bright yellow. Fingers crossed.
