Sybille Muschik's channel devoted to insights into artistic expressions from her Shoreline Studio in British Columbia.
"I grew up in an artistic family. My grandfather’s work was a great inspiration. He fostered a love of plein air painting in me that much later, on numerous camping trips with my family, was finally realized. If I can’t paint on site, I will make quick pencil or pastel sketches. Drawing is an important element in my work. Much of my work has an underlying concept or theme. My environmental interests and unique perspective are evident in my subject matter. Discovering the gell plate has led to many more adventures in printmaking."
RU-vid is showing a great series called Perspective. Several episodes detail some fascinating aspects of the Renaissance for both secular and religious paintings. Look for the use of vermilion in the paintings during the Renaissance and don't forget about the dutch paintings.
Ok went on-line and found some lovely Oregon Pinnacles at Crater Lake. These are far more eroded by the looks of them. Look very sharp. Maybe ours will look like that eventually.
No it doesn't as there are no sharp edges on the lino-block. I'm using a commercial gel plate but even a homemade gel plate shouldn't give you any trouble.Thank you for the question.
Thank you for your comment. I agree. Thankfully, we seldom get much, usually when the weather turns towards fall. Our lake has runoff from a mountain so extra phosphorous sets off blooms.What has your area done to mitigate this problem? Oxygenation helps so a storm brings in more oxygen. Aeration helps but our lake freezes so having such devices would keep the ice unsafe around them. Lots of folks use the lake in winter.
Sad to say that the log house in Farwell Canyon was swept away in the flash flood from the slide further upstream in the Chilcotin River today Aug 5, 2924. The river is a raging muddy torrent not it's pristine turquoise. I'm so glad we were able to photograph and do artwork about this historic site. We will have another video on this subject soon.
@@HandmadeJournalsbyFran2022 if you are in our area lets meet for coffee. In my case chai. There is a great little coffee shop to meet up in; Grandville's.
yes thanks for your comment. it's quite spectacular. This is a new route. The original route collapsed in a landslide. The rebuild took several years. We loved travelling along West Fraser road for the scenery. It's also another route into the Chilcotin country.
You can try it. It will probably work as long as you use acrylic paint . Thank you for your question. I will put it on my to do list for another video..
Wonderful demo… Is there a difference or an advantage in using a color image for transfer instead of black and white with high contrast? You seem to have chosen the original collage with the color palette that you want to use in the transfers? Could you please elaborate? Thank you. 🙏🏻
Thank you so much. I think I mentioned that the black toner is some laser printers does not have high saturation so transfers may not work in b/w prints. By increasing the saturation and intensity of the other colours like magenta and cyan the prints will likely be more successful. Toner is very expensive so more reasonable brands may not produce the most saturated colour prints.
@@jaymeniado1836 yes, we are very fortunate to live on a lake. It's also our responsibility to practice good stewardship. Maintain a riparian area and be careful with the wildlife and not feed it or disturb it
God bless you for taking care the nature and the creations of God. May you have long life to live so that the lake and the wildlife over there have their protectors
Looking at that fiddly little pasta maker, I wonder if it might be easier to use a good rolling pin and really lean hard on it. Maybe one of those marble rollers that rotate around the handle. Very interesting - I shall find something at the supermarket in a tetrapak and have a go.
Definitely try it, a rolling pin might work and hand printing requires a lot of muscle but is possible. The pasta maker actually works really well and saves a lot of time. You can adjust the pressure pretty well and doesn't take as long as doing it by hand. Thank you for your comment.
