A very busy week full of art

First of all I want to thank you for visiting and I hope I did get around to everyone who commented on my post at least! I've been so busy making art and tried to get around to people but at some point I kind of lost count. If anybody has advice for me as to how it is most easy to get through it on the PPF page, you are welcome to give me advice! The group has grown so much I can hardly get around to all the people!!!

I'm participating in a second round of Face in the World (FitW II) with Ayala Art on Facebook. (Earlier Face in the World posts). We are working in groups of three sending a postcard-sized start to the next in line. I'm in two groups and I have worked on two pieces from group members and my own starts of course.
I guess you would like to see a little of the work I've been doing? ;-)
Here are the starts I've worked on: group 6 (Ayala Art and Sandra Sherman). Sandra sent the outline of the face and I added a little colour to it, collaged a part of an earlier painting I had started. I added some water colour and acrylic to the background and highlighted with some gold circles.

And group 8 (Malissa Pribe and Ayala Art), for this face I found a picture of a boy that I liked very much to use as inspiration for the start that Ayala had made. I used pastels, acrylic and charcoal.

It is a lot of fun to do these collaborations! It can be scary to work on some body else's work of art, but it is so enjoyable too, to be part of an artwork that travels across the globe!

Also I've been working on a few small linol cuts cutting and printing with acrylics on all kinds of paper, post cards...I just love the expressiveness of the cuts!

Here is a collection of my prints:

Now back to work!

Sharing this with the artists on

PAINT PARTY FRIDAY!

Thank you Kristin and Eva for hosting the show!

Not for PPF today, just for you and me :-)

To begin with I want to thank all my visitors from last week! It was amazing to get so many comments on my blogpost! I really appreciate your comments and love to visit all your places and leave a word for you too!
Some of you have changed your set up, so I was not able to comment, as I haven't joined Google+. I may need to look at that, but not now.

Today I will not link to PPF, as I know I don't have time to visit a 100 blogs the next few days, but I will visit everyone who leaves a comment!
I have done a little something during the week, and signed up for an exquisite corpse round, which I am looking forward to very much! It will be great fun, I hope, with a special group of people, who came together, and agreed on no restrictions for our paintings/drawings ... rather exciting!

Here are a few things I have played with:

Small pieces of art for my art abandonment. I wanted to do some colorful pieces for people to be found. I also agreed with Lauri from the US to send her some pieces to abandon in the states and vice versa. I'm looking forward to that!

Here are now a few WIP for abandonment:

For one of my collaborations I want to prepare a piece of fabric with gesso, to send around the world and paint with five or six other artists. To find out if it works, I have gessoed two different kinds of fabric yesterday. Here are photos after one layer of gesso, I might need to give them another layer.

I have made a sketch of a woman's face, which I want to draw with colored pencils:

I hope I will be able to draw her, so people, who know her will recognize her! :-)

And as preparation for the exquisite corpse round I have played with linol prints. One I finished:

The other I needed to sketch onto the linol, before I forgot the idea!

Hope you enjoyed the "show" and now to the real world and the hard work. Wish me luck with my study products! Still a lot of writing to do as preparation for the exam.

Have a wonderful week-end everyone!

Triple print graphic

             

One print first, then because the one looked lonely I did two more. I used red wine to print with. The colour turned out a kind of violet. I used shades of violet and red water colour to give more substance to the picture.
A poem of Ingeborg Bachmann "Dunkles zu sagen" fitted to the atmosphere of the picture. I added the detail of black snowflakes.

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:
