Knot a gelatin Print

2010, Gelatin plate print / Linda Germain / August 19, 2009

Today was too hot to print with the gelatin plate. I had to run up to NHIA to pick up some artwork that had been on exhibit. I sought refuge in the public library were there was AC and things to draw. I did some sketches of people plants and sounds of the library. Last night I had a great visit with Pat Lutz, owner of the Artists’ Playground in Newburyport. www.linda-germain.com

So I am going to post images of my monotype prints to my Flickr account to broaden the exposure for gelatin prints. It seems to be time consuming but it will get easier I think. www.linda-germain.com

First Art Purchase

2010, drawings / Linda Germain / August 16, 2009

I went to the NAA figure drawing show today. I am so inspired by the sketchbooks of Bonnie Jean Malcolm. I had to buy the whole sketchbook. I love her line and energy. I love the way she signs her work. I am so happy that I could support her with my purchase. There are 100 life drawings in the sketchbook. She did them from 12-10-06 to 1-31-07. I must go and draw! www.linda-germain.com

Trace Monoprint on a Gelatin Print

2010, trace monoprint / Linda Germain / August 16, 2009

This gelatin plate print has a light blue “detailed impression” on top of a couple of other detailed layers and a black trace monoprint. It is another hot day. My gelatin was good for about an hour, then I put it back in the refrigerator.
