Since the workshop next week is all about color (let's hope not 100%), I figured that I should at least address the issue. So, here's the excercise for color and its relationship to a background value. I'm tempted to make a cute book out of this, but won't. Onward to Print Me a Color.
I finished a dozen or so pieces, and I might have to keep these. They are unusual in both the dark and light values, and the marks are distinctive. Plus, I like them too much to let them go. Maybe I'll bring them to Coupeville and Juneau, just to encourage working differently.
Returning home from a printing workshop always means a stack of half-printed pieces. They make the most wonderful beginnings. I can pick up where I left off, but with the advantage of new images and ideas. It's the same with leaving an 'in progress' piece on the design wall. The return look has fresh eyes.
