Grafik - prints

Arbejdet med linoltryk er ikke afsluttet. Mit linolsnit ud fra collagen har ikke været i tryk endnu, men jeg har lavet nogle gnidetryk, mens jeg var i gang med arbejdet.

Quite a lot is going on at the moment. I have been busy updating my blog, and I'm already working on a new project, which is portraits.

The graphic theme has been very interesting and I would like to continue working in this "genre". The process of finding a motiv, and transferring it to the media (acetat or linol) and then printing it is interesting and comes up with astonishing results sometimes. Somehow it is a surprise every time you draw back the cover of the press!

Nu er der imidlertid blevet lavet nogle linoleumstryk. Jeg har eksperimenteret med forskellige farver og undergrunde. Trykkets virkning/udtryk ændrer sig meget ved brug af farver.

Her et eksempel med sort, den klassiske farve for linoltryk:

Og her trykket med en blanding af sort med rød og gul:

Dette tryk er lavet på en avisside, der var illustreret med et billede.

Til sidst kommer et udsnit af trykket, lavet på vådt papir efter et farvetryk på tørt papir:

Et andet linolsnit jeg har lavet, trykt på en side af et modemagasin:

Grafik/dybtryk/etching

Her følger de første forsøg og eksempler på radering med koldnål.

 

 En sjov papegøje, første forsøg.
The parrot is a free "drawing" with cold needle on acetate. Patterns are used to accentuate the different parts of the bird.
The bird below is drawn after a padded bird, sitting on a wooden block. This makes the drawing more lively. Still it is not a good choice of context I put the bird into. Today I would work on that, finding a more interesting setting for the picture. 

 Fuglen på grenen, helt fin, men den mangler lidt udtryk.

 Her er der så kommet mere liv i billedet, men jeg vil

gerne lave nogle flere tryk af den.

The owl is drawn after a photograph I had worked with earlier and which was "cut to pieces". Quite an interesting effect. I like the expression of the eyes.

Cold needle etching after a photograph of my mother when she was about 20.

Selvportræt - selfportrait a challenge

Så kom der farve på lærredet! :-)

When we started painting with acrylic, we were asked to make a self portrait mixing the primary colours and white, using a photo of ourselves with contrast, to make it as expressive as possible.

Nå, men det ligner jo ikke farve, men en spændende øvelse!
