My monkeys are finally printed; since I add clove oil to my inks, they'll
take about a week to dry - then I'll send them out. Sarah, your monkey
sounds very interesting - I didn't get one? Congratulations on your drawing!

Hi Sarah -

I thought 'aquatint' when I received your lovely monkey so I guess it
wasn't too far off - I've been dying to take one of Dan Weldon's workshops-
in correspondence last summer he mentioned one in Italy - I wonder where
he'll be this year?
Congrats on your exhibiting the monkey drawing!
Louise C.

Hi Everyone!
Occasionally I will be faced with needing a slide for a piece that I don't
have in my possession. I do take digital photos of everything for reference, so
I am able to have slides made in a pinch from a burned CD or ZIP. I have found
that the only drawback is that slides from digital files tend to come out a
little on the light side. Still beats having nothing!
Just an observation.....

I'm glad that my little monkey is baffling, I think! :)
The print is a solarplate etching. The original drawing was done
using ink wash mixed with pastel, and the wonderful thing is that
the solarplate is able to pick up a lot of this subtlety. Getting
the exposure just right and the inking etc was a bit tricky, but I
think I worked it out. In exposing the plate, I also have an "aquatint
screen", as the solarplate guy Dan Welden calls it, which is a screen
that looks black but actually has lots of dots on it. If you expose
the plate using this first (before exposing the image), it seems that
you can get a lot more subtlety with the lights and darks......

Wow! After thinking about it further, I wondered if it was an aquatint with a woven-looking screen, but didn't even consider Solarplate. That's wonderful--no acid at all, and such lovely gradation. Of course, it took more than a bit of skill as well!

Thanks for the explanation, and you hanga people, please forgive the static!

Regards,

I typed in http://www.baren.com thinking I might arrive at our Baren home
page. I didn't. Try it, might make you smile (or it might not). Don't worry,
I got where I wanted to eventually!

Hi Mike

Did I really not know this? I wonder where I get some of my ideas from. I guess there really is no excuse for me not to participate now is there! Thanks for your reply.
