Analogous : Transfer Print

Another transfer print made at a workshop I took this past summer. This one was inspired by my mother's work(which actually are just doodles and small pieces as of late) and other things she likes, like plants and colours analogous to turquoise. This was meant to be a gift for her, but she claimed the piece for herself before I could even finish it or offer.

Bacon : Transfer Print

A transfer made at a workshop this past summer. My painting teacher from high school hosted it. It was a wonderful trip, my mother attended it as well. I haven't made a transfer print since then, but I intend to, it's quite a fun process.
I named it Bacon after Francis Bacon, who's work provided much inspiration for this piece.

Bacon - Chase Restrepo

-First the raw print was made with ink on pink card stock
-The print came out very dark, so I went back into it with oil pastel to bring out some of the details
-After that, I used a wet brush to dissolve some of the ink and brush it around to give it a smoother texture

Media: Ink, card stock, oil pastel, water
Time taken: 30 minutes to an hours
