Hello hivers, an happy Wednesday to you all!
It's a sunny hot (but fortunately not too hot 😁) day here, the Sun is shining on the sky and we can breath the summer air all around. My furry friends Nanny and Bimba are sleeping in a corner of the lab after a morning spent playing together and with me too. Bimba, around 3 months old, is living a new "adventure" every day, for example a couple of days ago she decided to jump on my palette while I was working on a painting and one of her ear and part of her face became green. I immediatly cleaned her (and she was not so happy), but she looked like a sort of Hulk-cat. I started to pay more attention to her while I'm working on something, but I'm pretty sure she'll find a new way to give colors to her body. 😸
As I wrote before, since some days I'm trying to improve my skills on printmaking and this morning I worked on this linocuts:
In the following pic you can see one of the first print tests close to the plate I made:
To make it I use a adigraf block because at home I had a tube of lino color not oil based and so the print tests I did with a linoleum block was really bad, while the ones I did with this adigraf block gave me the result I wanted.
I also took some pics while I was making this adigraf block so you can see some steps of the process too:
Now I have to adjust some little details, but when I will be ready I'll print a limited edition of these ones to add to my Artfinder shop. ❤️
I hope you like it!
See ya soon and stay safe,
Silvia
