It's been rainy here for the last 7 days, so it was easy to be inspired by the word "soaked". The sun finally came out this morning, but we've had a few showers this afternoon.
I posted this illustration on my group blog, Smells like Crayons last week, but since it goes so well with the topic, I'll post it again here.
Working on an idea for a new reduction print. I've transferred the design to my easy-cut block and cut out the white areas. It's time to print the first layer of light blue-gray. Seems like a good project for a dreary weekend (weather-wise).
I am a retired high school art teacher who enjoys drawing and painting, but who now works predominately as a printmaker in my small home studio. I love exploring various block printing techniques, and print everything by hand without a press, using water soluble inks.
Whatever I do as an artist, I have to remind myself---no pressure---it all starts by just putting pencil to paper.
