Today's post focuses on black-and-white prints made when I was taking one of the online classes of Jane Davies.
For today's art samples, I started with white paper and used the sponge brayer method that's so quick and easy for me.
I had no black papers on hand, so I created some with black gesso. I wanted some black backgrounds so I could print thru my stencils and masks with Titanium White heavy body acrylic paint.
I left some papers white so I would have white backgrounds for prints made with black gesso.

Options abound with these black-and-whites.
One option will be to cover them with translucent acrylic paints to fill the white areas with rainbows of color. The black areas will appear different, too, once they've been coated with translucent color.
Another idea is to use them as black-and-whites in collage. I've already put together a few of those --

The focal point itself is a print made with my 9" x 12" mask Blooming Where Planted. In the upper left is a partial print created using my 6" x 6" mask Sassy Spray. The lined pieces in the central and lower right areas were cut from my original drawing that became the basis for my 9" x 12" mask Loopy Ladders. |
