If it ...Hi, Sherrie--another printmaker chiming in. If it were me I'd tone down the dark reflection of the bird's neck in the water. It looks blocky to me and doesn't have the movement of the rest of the water. Maybe carve in a little wave action in the darkest part especially, or give the whole area another transparent gray instead. Or both. But this print already looks super. Love that long rectangular format.Nancy Vickerynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5784292642337662930.post-89878097730363761062024-02-01T17:02:12.177-05:002024-02-01T17:02:12.177-05:00Yes you set out your hunched. But when it comes to...Yes you set out your hunched. But when it comes to color. The hunch needs to be "mixed", applied to the block, lined up with previous passed, and assessed. Because it is still becoming!!! A hunch is merely a starting place. So many many many follow ups. THEN you look back at the results and make a decision. Which, if you agree with it, all the other prints of that edition must have that new color added to each of them. And NO, the artist is not a machine. 🙂🎨✍️Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5784292642337662930.post-7490848702203827402023-09-06T20:37:25.620-04:002023-09-06T20:37:25.620-04:00There isn’t an emoji depicting ones mind blown….

I would wake up at 3am, worrying about how I was going to fix one of my stupid wood blocks where I carved the out wrong thing, then duplicated the same thing on two blocks and then had no idea how I got myself boxed into that rookie mess in the first place. Ugh! So glad it's salvaged and now over. <br /><br />I questioned many of my life choices in the making of it. ; )Hollyhttp://www.studioibis.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5784292642337662930.post-80445374793191361482023-04-24T13:36:42.950-04:002023-04-24T13:36:42.950-04:00Thanks, Holly!

I heard that drumbeat loud and clear too, which is why I picked up my woodcut + linocut multiple block + deck-chairs-on-the-Titanic-emergency-reduction nemesis again and reworked in December. I then ran it through 14 color passes to finish before my April 6th jury deadline for ASMA.<br /><br />Geez, the decisions we have to make when we have a deadline breathing down our necks... Right?<br /><br />But, it really looks great, Sherrie! There's a patterning there too I really like, like there's music written in the reeds in the bottom third of your print. : )<br /><br />I was trying to push myself too, ambition-wise.
