Spray ink and a foam stamp
Week eight, Mermaid Circus, the last "epic" assigment involving the story of a mermaid and her special animal friends. I chose the dolphin, and after doing an ink study from a video, drew the large dolphin characters freehand, then traced my study drawings to make the two dolphin stamps. The mermaid was drawn from imagination as a stamp. The back side of the drawing was collaged in tissue and lettered with a "love" poem to my teachers and classmates. The middle size dolphin and the mermaid were over-painted in acrylics and inks, plus colored pencil. The whole piece took the better part of a week to complete.
