SHE DOES IT ALL

Belinda Del Pesco is an artist that I love to follow. She works in art areas that I find so exciting. At any given time you can see fun monotypes, collagraphs, woodcuts plus great watercolor paintings.

MONOTYPES

I have mentioned my serious watercolor impairment. Try as I will, I flounder from start to finish with this medium. I found a person (her blog) that combines something I'm more comfortable with and watercolors. Printmaking....Wendy Willis uses watercolors to make some great monotypes. She does multiple rubbings by taping the print paper to a plastic sheet (hinged) which she paints with the watercolor. By taping the paper to the plastic she avoids any registration problems.

I started my own practice run yesterday and, with a little more work, I think I can get the hang of this technique. Excited to work on it more tonight.
