It was wonderful to see the return of two people for this next level of creative play.
Below you’ll see their pieces featuring a deeper dive into layering using stencils, free flow play painting and then image transfer. They quickly understood how the layering worked, creating depth in the prints with several layers. Check out what happened below. Exciting.
Then we moved with free flow paintings on cheap craft paper as a transitioning step into the next project of image transfer. I am always impressed by what happens in this step. It is a very daring move to simply drop techniques, play and allow what comes with the materials.
Then image transfer time. This technique is very unpredictable with all the many variables: the kind of ink of the magazine or book page we’re working with to the kind and amount of paint, to the amount of hand pressure and then the length of time as we let the page sit on the painted gel plate as we transfer the image onto the plate. And then there is the variable with the next step, of actually printing the transfer onto paper!
As you can see, they both made it work with some clear transfers. Triumph!
Below are Michele’s pieces starting with the stencils, free flow painting and then image transfers.
Then moving to Jim’s pieces, same order of exploring layering with stencils, then free flow and finally his image transfers.
