The morning was amazing, the singing bowls set the tone quite literally for the packed studio session ahead. The smooth and efficient methods of Bob's masterful mind that we learned yesterday were put to use again today as we rubbed, rolled, wiped, placed, pulled and lifted image after image totally over 45 prints, a good days work out. Bob says the answer is in the studio... so more collaborations today and color, color and more color. I learned that my intrinsic palette is surely being pumped through my veins as it comes out even with severe limitations. I was extremely frustrated this afternoon by the process which requires me to give up total control. I see what a control freak I am( who me?!) As a painter I wanted to spend alot of time on "painting" the plate but needed to work in a timely fashion since others were waiting. I was trying to force the work instead of letting it go where it wanted to go. In the end I stayed late and pulled two more print quite quickly I might add and am now a happy camper, or rather printer.
