Brayers are a key tool for printmakers. So I did a couple of quick drawings of my brayers on index cards.
Then today I picked two of the drawings and made copies of them, increasing and reducing the size.
As you can see in the sketch in the middle above, I overlapped and combined several of the copies to create an interesting composition.
So this is one way to get more from one littles sketch. Use your copier or computer to manipulate the size and combine to create a new design.
And then I used the combined drawing as a matrix for a couple of trace monoprints. I think that I will make a couple more and add some watercolor to them like I did in the little abstract drawing at the end.
If you would like to get more from your drawings, then check out the online class, SEE – draw – Print.
Class starts soon. It is a 3 day class designed to get you drawing and printing right away.
