Merry Christmas!!

Linocuts

Linocuts I did for my printmaking final. I feel I would like to go back and cut the sky out of the fox one.

Memories of Japan

Cyanotype prints I did in my printmaking class.

Ripples of Sorrow

This is my final print for printmaking class. I will be taking the advance class next semester.
I etched this on a 12x9 inch copper plate. I used a mix of drypoint, hardground, and aquatint. I had scratched my plate pretty badly actually, but the aquatint covered most of the damage up. Even though I had originally drew the lines on top of hardground and etched them, they started to fade so I had to go over them with the drypoint technique. But doing so many curves was hard and I made a lot of mistakes!

Regardless, printmaking class was fun!

These are some other prints I made with my plate. They are far from perfect.

Animal prints

Prints I did in printmaking class earlier semester for my midterm.
I messed up my peacock plate pretty bad and tried to fix it by aquatinting. I never got that great of a print out of the plate. I may do a version of the drawing in photoshop or with cutouts.
 I hope to learn linography next semester in the advance class!

Mix of drypoint (hand etching) with hardground, softground for the eyes, and aquatint for the spots.

Etching on top of hardground, aquatint for the background and painting with ink.
