When working in acrylics, I put my pigments out on Grafix Inking Palette, which is a plastic sheet. I have a pad of 9 x 12 inch sheets (25 sheets in a pad). When I'm finished working on the prints and other things, there is a remainder of the acrylic on the plastic sheet. I keep them because they are pretty, but didn't know what to do with them...now I think I have a new idea for their use.
Using Matte Medium, I glue them down to a piece of white printmaking or watercolor paper.
Putting them over a drawing works pretty well so it shows through and the color is added.
The top two are glued down over drawings. The third is just a lpiece laid on top of my watercolor journal.

love the blues :D this is a good use of materials. Why throw something out if you can use it for something else? :) (that might be the reason the studio looks like a bomb site tho :p)
These are so beautiful Rhonda! :)
I just don't understand what you
are doing with those sheets - never
saw that. Maybe you could show me
that in one of your next posts? :))
Have a beautiful day!

Your art is just exploding with beauty of late, Rhonda. I am loving everything you do!
Love, love, love the bird. It has a sense of history and mystery to it!

Thanks so much, Jennifer Rose, Tinna, Sherry and Elizabeth. Tinna, I will take some photos of the inked plates and what they look like before I glue them to the paper...
Rhonda- what a superb idea. Your art is just seeming to flow from one lovely work to another. I think you are in a sweet spot. Have a great weekend.
Thanks, Debbie. I'm glad others see it this way - I seem a bit scattered and unable to settle down to any one thing right now and I guess that's okay! ha h
