- Blind Contour Drawings
- Blind Contours are done with a pen on paper while looking at the model
and not looking at the paper. The idea is to draw slowly and let your
hand move in coordination with your eye. In a modified blind contour drawing
you may from time to time readjust your pen by taking a quick look at the
paper, but you never draw while looking at the paper, always while looking
at the model.
The surprise is in looking at the finished work and seeing what you have
just created.
- Brush Drawings
-
I start my brush drawings by creating a quick gesture drawing and a modified contour
drawing . I then
using a brush look for the lights and darks painting in the darks with
black ink.
- Intaglio Prints
-
-
Intaglio printing is a new process for me, and I am experimenting
with style. Intaglio printing is a process where by a groove is made in
a metal plate either with a drypoint tool or by etching the plate with
acid. The plate is run through a press transferring the ink from the
plate onto paper.

This page includes drypoint, etchings and aquatint.
- Relief Prints

Relief printings is done by carving into linoleum blocks. This is a
new process for me.
