I had the unbelievable opportunity to spend two weeks in Belgium at the Frans Masereel Centrum making some prints. While there i completed a lithograph and a mezzotint...Here are the in progress shots...
Lithography in Belgium!!!!!
I need to draw more animals...This monkey is insanely fun to draw
getting there...I couldn't get my hands on any "stones" brand crayons so I've been using Korn's...Im not a fan...Maybe it is the cold weather...but the Korn's are brittle and keep cracking.
Completed drawing ready for autographic ink...
Autographic ink? CHECK!
Rolled up in black and ready to etch...
I tried something new with this print...I printed the key image twice on top of itself...The first time I printed it in a greenish brownish swampy looking color...the I printed it right on top of itself in black...It was a pretty efficient way to get two colors out of one drawing...I will say this though...if you are going to try this...stretch your paper extremely well and USE PIN REGISTRATION!!!!
FInished...my first lithograph in another country!!!
Oh yeah...I also made this little mezzotint while I was there...Though this was a finished print...I have a feeling it's just a study for "bigger" things to come.
They also let you put this sweet chop on all your prints!!!
