SPRING CLEANING

Spent a bit of time sorting through older paintings and prints and trying to put them into some kind of order. Found a few that I had forgotten all about. Two watercolor paintings that actually turned out the way I had planned them. Also the first monoprint I ever tried.

PRETENDING LIKE I'M A WATERCOLORIST

I finished my first monoprint using watercolors with multiple rubbings. In this technique, the paper is taped (hinged) to a sheet of plastic so it stays in registration. The watercolor is then applied to the plastic then the paper lowered and rubbed with a baren. The result is a monoprint (additive) rather than a monotype (subtractive).
