When I used to do traditional etching I really enjoyed the idea of "abusing" the plate -scraping and burnishing- liked the notion that the more one messed about with the surface the lovelier the result became.... I have missed this element of printmaking since using solar plates etc.... so I am looking to try some collographs- not sticking shapes on the plate as much as painting and scraping the design on with carborundum and various pastel grounds... this is the first proof and I have done a bit more work and hope to get this next stage printed tomorrow..... I think it will be a good way of doing moody nudes (which would be a good name for a 60's rock band)
Great feeling to this one When I played with carborundum I also built it up with lacquer, which creats more of a contrast with the marble grit. Fantastic piece ! Looking forward to more, it would be great to have a fellow collagraph artist on deviantart.
I'd like to show you some awesome nature related work from more or less unknown artists which deserve more attention - this is a must see, you won't regret it!!!
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
I'm a lover of visual impacts. I like brilliant colors and shapes. And I decided to collect a whole stack of deviations that reflect that taste. These pieces showcased below deserve every bit of publicity you can give them. x)P
