New Paintings

Three new paintings to post.  I have been working on these for awhile, about a month I guess. There have been a couple things going on but more on that later.  I will be posting about some new drawings too shortly.  The next pieces will be really big again, but I wanted to get a few small ones done before I got caught up in a big project.  I have sketched a whole book so far in preparation for these next large pieces and these were 3 faces caught my eye but were better suited to this smaller size.  …

So far in my print experiments this year, the 2 and 3 color iterations have been the strongest. For this set I used 3 screens, two negative space iterations and one line. The two negative space screens happen to fit together really well in this set and I was able to get a lot of great variations. …

I am continuing to experiment with screen printing. Now that I have the process down I am free to make more directed experiments with colors and overlays.  I have found that 2 and 3 color variations work best.  4 and 5 colors seems to be too much for my current figures.  Here are some of my more successful two-color variations:

 

Three colors:

The green went down first, then the brown finally the translucent red.  Because the purple is so dark there is only an overlay effect from the red. …
