Contour Drawings

I found these contour drawings from college in the basement. I always loved the contour drawings of the plants that were in the windows in our old art building. I may find some way to make copies and use them in my journal!

Make your Mark Jounal Project

I used one of the monotype prints
as one of my pages. I may add
a quote to this later.

Stalling on my Journal Project

I need to get going and do a little work each day on this journal or a year will have gone by and I won't be finished! I have a spot cleared on one table now...so why don't I get to it? I see all this wonderful work on other's blogs but I'm still stalling. One thing is that I have two projects to finish also...just need to make a schedule and keep to it. Hope to have a few more pictures soon!

Make your Mark Journal Project

Wish I could have waited and found out how to rotate these but here they are anyway. This is a project through LaGrange Art League and Dick Blick Art Materials stores.

First finished page of my collage journal!

Monotype Workshop

This should have come after the next section- oh well.
So this shows Ingrid working on two prints and then pulling the prints.

Two of my finished prints in our show and share.

Monotype Print Workshop

Ingrid Albrecht in the gallery in Ravenswood. The next photos show her process of making a monotype print. The paper is already laying down on the paint and she's manipulating it with a soft brush and water to make sure the paper is in the paint. Also it helps wet the paper so the colors bleed and do wonderful things on the plexiglass plate underneath. And you see the water sprayer she uses in the second photo also used to spray on the paper.
