‘A Meeting At Sunset’ 12x9 inches Another image worked on top of a mono print made on my gelatin plate. These two figures developed slowly; the composition was gradual in its resolve as well. Wax pastels (fancy delineation for crayons) allow me to build colors and textures slowly. Because of their high pigment quality they permit me to change my mind as I wander along, a plus for intuitive drawing. #mixedmediadrawing #carandache #inkonpaper #monoprint #intuitiveart #seattleartist #motherearth #shamanicart #treeart #figurativedrawing #dessinfiguratif #artecontemporaneo #kunstwerk #creativeprocess #mixedmediaart #visionaryart #artcollectors #artnewsmag #artcritic #pnwartists #dessincontemporain #contemporaryartgallerys #contemporaryart #neocolor1 #prismacolorpencils @lynn_hanson_gallery @seattleartrag
‘Serpent Handler’ 10x7.5 inches This piece began as a mono print on some type of very rough textured Japanese paper. The pastels sat up on top for the most part, which gives the piece much sparkle where the tiny white gridded texture shows through. The snake is a personal animal of mine, symbolizing the wisdom of intuition and subconscious mind.

I haven’t posted any progress/process pix in awhile, so this is what’s up on the table today. I spent the afternoon pulling gelatin plate mono prints. They will serve as raw material underpainting for my mixed media drawings. The process is very soothing and meditative for me, a real no-expectations mode of making since the prints are just jumping off points. Scroll thru for a glimpse of a drawing in progress working over a mono print with Neocolor I wax pastels and ink pen. Oh, and the Studio Assistant with her trusty Croc, pictured last but never least! #studioprogress #artprocess #creativeprocess #seattleartist #contemporaryartist #gelliprinting #gelatinplate #worksonpaper #meditation #markmaking #sheltiesofinstagram #gooddog #studioassistant #monoprinting #underpainting #workinprogress #neocolor1 #artecontemporáneo #carandache #mixedmediaart #acrylicpaint
