New Hand Prints from the Garden Studio
My topic this term is combining line and painterly marks. I’ve managed to make some pretty large drypoints by hand- which involves quite a lot of muscle power, by the way- essentially my arms are replacing the pressure of a printing press! I’m currently adding mono print to them and hope to have them…
