Better week than the last one!

This week was definitely more productive than last week. I had to redraw, rework, and rethink 5 different projects last week. After a weekend at the beach for my birthday I was back on track. I even managed to squeeze in some drawing time while I was there. BEST drawing studio ever!

I have completed printing one edition this week. I have also started drawing on the stone for my final lithography and began the underpainting for my next large scale portrait. I plan to build the stretcher bars and stretch the final canvas this upcoming week so that I may prepare the surface to begin work on the last portrait. I feel pretty good about where I stand right now.

My current litho will have color in it. I have never printed with color and find it difficult to think of color in terms of "layers" so I spent some time this weekend researching a list of artists suggested by Ken Daley who are known for their chromolithography, i.e. Ed Munch, Toulouse Lautrec, Pierre Bonnard, Currier and Ives, and Louis Prang.
