It has been too long since I made a print, and I have been feeling the urge to get back to it. As an image, I decided to go with this older drawing I'd done as an idea for a possible print years ago, but had never done. But I'd always liked the image...So I decided to go with it now.
The figure in the image is from another of my old drawing books, this one filled with drawings from the model done when I was back living in Santa Fe and attending Eli Levin's highly enjoyable life drawing group. Those were the days...wish there was such a group here in Maine now!
I like to work on my prints here at the dining table, where the light is better, and its warm. Plus I get to keep a lookout on the field in back where I often see deer, crows, occasional ravens, and other creatures.
As you can see in the photo above, the initial drawing was tiny...less than 2" x 3". I decided to enlarge the design to 4" x 6".
And here you can almost see the design beginning to take shape on the copper plate...Now I've got to get back work...more on this later!
