Mixed Media Landscape

Alice Cook, Aftermath, 2014, Mixed Media

This is a drypoint print I did recently.  It is the same landscape from the previous post, but utilizing a different wiping technique.  Here I wiped the zinc plate clean, leaving the ink only in the lines.  Then I hand painted it with watercolor.  I used a glazing technique, applying 7 to 8 layers of paint.  Since it was the first time I did glazing with watercolor, I am happy with the results.  The ink did not smear when the watercolor was applied, for I wasn't sure what would happen.  The BFK Rives paper took the watercolor paint well and hardly buckled.  I look forward to applying the watercolor glazing technique to future paintings.  Enjoy!
