I start off with a drawing and my color ideas but things can certainly change as you go along. The color combinations!Anne E Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11084727500878521886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5784292642337662930.post-41977417970459703422010-02-13T12:14:41.647-05:002010-02-13T12:14:41.647-05:00Hi, Sherrie,

PRECISELY: The whites are the "easy" part, the darkest bits seem evident, and everything that happens in between that is reaction to what went before.<br /><br />Gabrielle, THANK you. :-) This made me smile and exhale contentedly.<br /><br />Andrew, welcome! I actually saw your tasty "pi" the other day, and envied your transparency (which I have only barely played with). Reduction IS fun, a little nerve-wracking to post the process publicly when danger of serious crash and burn lies around every corner... but at least I only have four crates of used blocks stacked in the closet instead of 40!Sherrie Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01967844327055630854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5784292642337662930.post-18962081472797829902010-02-11T05:51:52.229-05:002010-02-11T05:51:52.229-05:00Hi Sherrie

Whatever is revealed then to a large extent determines the next course of action, which may be contrary to whatever preconceived idea I started out with. This for me, is an important part of the creative process. <br />As for a plan, when I start a print the only definate idea is which parts I want to leave white, and a usually more hazy idea of where I want the darkest darks to be. Everything in between is just a happy accident waiting to be taken advantage of!Stuart Brocklehursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01901116311000910745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5784292642337662930.post-1899889524047753882010-02-10T23:34:01.511-05:002010-02-10T23:34:01.511-05:00Contrary?

I've been following your prints for a bit and really like the odd color combinations/juxtapositions you end up with and am often baffled by how you get there.<br /><br />As I'm working with watercolor pigments and rice paste--very transparent...I've been hesitant to try a reduction print--using just one block as I can't go back and cover up a previous one. So I keep cutting a block for each color. <br /><br />But I keep looking at your prints and thinking Hmmmmm.<br />That looks like fun.Andrew Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02184272649874888854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5784292642337662930.post-74075205859847349962010-02-10T16:51:05.259-05:002010-02-10T16:51:05.259-05:00planning has never quite fit in with the process o...planning has never quite fit in with the process of creating...for me either.<br />it's all rather a series of reactive decisions: does this look good, does that? <br />the process is the exciting part about artwork.<br />to know how it's going to look in the end seems to defeat the purpose, I think.barbara@sparrowavenuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16810058119646386361noreply@blogger.com
