Trying out a new Gelli Plate Mono-printing technique that I learned this last weekend during a workshop class with an artist friend of mine. I am beyond ecstatic about this process, and while I’m still struggling to figure out how to incorporate it into my digital world, I can tell I’ll enjoy seeking solutions!
This piece used a simple feather as the main motif against large swaths of colored texture, but when I popped it into Procreate and started to play with incorporating some other bird-themed digital art I’d made over the past year the magic started to happen. I felt like this was meant to be!
It’s probably too busy, and the colors a bit too garish, but I think collaging imagery into interesting narratives might be a tool I want to use some more. There’s something about the “traditional” aspect to the art-making that grounds it for me and makes it more “substantive” somehow. It means more. To me.
So here’s my first attempt at melding my digital efforts and my new-found traditional efforts! I’m going to be sharing a LOT more of this in the future!!
