Media:  ink & colored pencil
Dimensions:  2 1/2 x 3 1/2
Date of Work:  October 2009

In my younger days, I used to have an old wringer washer. Hooked it up to the kitchen sink and it was the best machine I ever had. This version is a bit more work than my Maytag, but the advantage...it also doubles as a small etching press...sigh...artists. My technique, though time consuming, is simple. I start with a preliminary sketch in graphite. When my design is satisfactory, I ink the sketch, using a black, 05, pigma micron pen. I use Prismacolor pencils. Each area is a layering of about 5 different colors, going from dark to light, until the paper is totally burnished. Once the coloring is complete, I re-ink to make the line work a true black. It is then sprayed with workable fixatif to seal, protect and prevent wax bloom.
