Then I apply tousche and my litho crayon marks. I kind of went a bit overboard. :-) I used a #5 litho crayon.
Still drawing I think I will stop here
This is after i applied my 1/3 2/3 mix of tapem gum arabic mix as well 50/50 mix. Going to let this sit for overnight and work on some lino.
what is 1/3 2/3 mix and 50/50 mix? Fascinating.
ReplyDeleteThe 1/3 2/3 mix is the mixture of gum arabic and tapem etch respectively. That is what I did with this one. I am actually trying to do 1/3 gum arabic and lemon juice mixture now. And 50/50 is gum arabic to tapem etch. You just have to experiment. Email me steve.wiggins@gmail.com and I can send you the instructions I am using.
