Sometimes, I get overwhelmed with ideas and then I can’t choose one to play with. Usually, I go for a walk to get some clarity.
Then when I get back to the studio I have a 1-2-3 to do list. I like to have just three items on the list, that way I don’t get overwhelmed by a long list. When I finish the three activities, then I can make another list of 3.
I think this helps to create a sense of accomplishment.
This idea of simplifying can be applied to gelatin printmaking too. I will often:
- Limit my color palette to cyan and black – classic printmaking colors
- Use just 3 to 5 stencils of different volume or line quality
- Print on my standard size paper, so that the prints can be easily turned into books
If you would like to explore simplifying your gelatin prints, then check out the details of the upcoming workshop and join us today. The online class starts March 1st.
