Primary


Primary
Originally uploaded by Connie Vickers
Had fun with this one. The challenge was to see what I could do with only the three primaries. I was pleased with the small sketch as a first try but the fun was in getting there!

First was making the new little palette. It's only about 2" square and has full pans of color. In Art Escapes, Dory Kanter refers to these three as her "full triad". Working with the tiny palette was fun. And then...

I took a photo of the tiny palette with my digital and printed it with my little Kodac Zinc. For those of you who haven't run across this new toy, it's a small Kodac printer that you carry with you (you can also use it plugged into an outlet if its battery is low). It prints out a photo about 2 x 3 inches (I didn't take time to measure) and when you peel off the back - it's sticky paper!!!!!! How much fun can you have with one little journal entry.

I may have used "little" and "tiny" to much - but HEY, they were! LOL

  3. Hmmm...Connie, where did you find the printer? I've looked around a bit, and didn't turn one up...
