so much fuss about nothing, Monotype of the Day #411

Day 46 of Year 2

This is a very quick monotype made today as demo during a studio visit. I decided to post it because there is a different quality to a print done without expectation of results. When I do a demo, I always say, "This is just a quick print to show you how it’s done, I'm not really trying to make a finished image." And then low and behold, more often than not something worth saving is revealed. Even though I focus much more on process than product in my studio, it's really hard to fully abandon the desire to make a "good print". That desire alone changes the natural flow. I'm not judging. I don't know whether this is good or bad, but in my demo prints where muscle rather than mind prevails, it feels like there is more of a raw connection behind the veil.
