Parrot Fish Drawing

Today's Project...

Parrot Fish Drawing on Ground Glass

I am lucky enough to participate in an artist Print Portfolio project at the Providence Art Club and I needed to prepare my drawing for the first print studio session tomorrow.  I wanted an image with personality, and I found it over coffee with a close friend at a cafe that had a huge aquarium.  You never know when creativity will strike!  Tomorrow I will make a solar plate from this image and then begin the tedious process of mixing a custom color ink.  Once I finish the color mixing, it is off to produce 47 prints, which may take the better part of the summer, a few at a time.

My instructor and the coordinator of the portfolio project is Carol Fitz Simmonds, an amazing artist.  Check out her website to learn more about artist prints from one of the best printmakers in RI.
