Transformation 42 - Ingredients: monotype scraps (oil-based litho inks on Rives BFK), Caran D'Ache crayons, watercolor pencils, acrylic inks, acrylic gel medium, PVA glue. 7" x 7"
Here is the finished version of Transformation 42. As you can see, the only big change I made was to darken the lighter blue area around the seed. I felt it was too light before, creating an unintentional focus on that area, and too much contrast to the rest of the piece in general.
I've been working on another piece over the last week or so, and I think it's finally complete. This one is made from some of the recycled pieces that I washed off a couple of weeks ago. I've been thinking about simplifying my work a bit, and I believe this is a tiny step in that direction. Okay, you can stop laughing now; for me, this is simpler, you have to admit. It is, really.
