It's been a summer of experiments. Playing with paint blobs, ink dribbles, and glue squirts. Although results may on first glance look similar you'll see results of 2-3 varied processes. They all worked well for mindful exploration of media. I find the process to help connect my clients to their senses and to an abstract representation of behavior/action.
Here are some highlights in a photo-essay sort of way (mind you it's my first, so bare with me).
 |
| Playing around with 'clean' mono printing. I called these "sac" prints because I used garbage bags "sacs" to sandwich the paints. Using this method leaves hands clean and lets the artist feel the paint squishing under their fingertips. You aught to try it! |
 |
| Print taken at the crease of the "sac" and the table gives a mirror effect. Reminiscent of ink blots! |
 |
| Also experimented with laser compatible transparency sheets and glue+india ink+watercolors. The effects were stunning. |
 |
| Close-up of the glue+india ink print. The first print is highly saturated because all the ink transfers immediately while the other substances leave traces for ghost prints (see below for further examples). |
 |
| The india ink seems to repel the watercolor and the glue, and some interesting streaking and debris starts coming through. |
 |
| Stay posted, for future experiments and for what I ended up doing with these! |
