dogs on the webstreet






In the Kunstmuseum Bern there's an exhibition about the artist Tracey Emin. I was very impressed by her artwork I didn't know before. I admired very much her Monotypes - went home and did my first Monotypes after years and realized how much fun it is!

die sehen wirklich sehr schön aus ... mh aber was ist ein Monotype? hehe

Schanett hat gesagt…

maike: schnell ein crashkurs monotypie gefällig?!
;-)

also: man nehme eine platte (z.b. glasplatte, die lässt sich nachher wieder gut reinigen) und ölhaltige farbe (z.b. solche für linol- oder holzschnitt) und rolle ein bisschen farbe mit einer walze auf der platte aus. dann nimmt man ein papier und legt es direkt auf die farbe und "zeichne" nun auf die rückseite des papiers das, was man will - z.b. hunde! entfernt man das blatt, hat sich die farbe der glasplatte auf das papier übertragen und die zeichnung seitenverkehrt darauf abgebildet.
eigentlich ganz einfach. die flecken entstehen durch "ungewollte" abdrucke der farbe auf das papier während des zeichnens.

Jennifer hat gesagt…

I like these very much Schanette!
Monotypes are addictive. Endless possibilities...

Jennifer hat gesagt…

ooops, Schanett!

Schanett hat gesagt…

esti: thank you!

nicki: ja, ich mag die flecken auch fast mehr als die hunde! ;-) das ist das schöne dieser technik, dass man fertig gezeichnet hat und dann die überraschung erst kommt wenn man das blatt umdreht!

lea: yes. I did them. they wanted to be drawn by me...

jennifer: didn't know the word addictive. but now I completely agree! once I started with the dogs I had more than 25 at the end!

outi hat gesagt…

very nice dogs:) i don´t know the technic, have to try to read introduction you wrote to Maike..good german practise again;)

AC hat gesagt…

cute dogs, perfect for me as today I'm in a "dog mood"!
Hope you're feeling less tired! I know I am not! hehe ;)

Schanett hat gesagt…

outi: I tried to find some pictures about monotypes on the web. how it's made. I didn't find. tell me if you don't understand the introduction I wrote - I'll try to translate in English though.
about me going to Helsinki: it's just an idea I have for years and now I have in mind making this idea coming true. but: I would like doing something if I would come to this town. as I'm by my own. I don't like walking day for day in the cities. if I'd come I would try to find a place, a project, kind of "Praktikum" or whatever (if you have any ideas...!). don't want to earn money with but just having something to do and at the same time living in a town and know it better. do you understand what I try to say? but if I could come depends from what I'm going to do after my actual work. if I'll have time to travel...
I'll let you know as soon as I know more about my pipe dream!

Schanett hat gesagt…

caroline: "dog day" means you have to care for some dogs today?
yes, I'm less tired!! think it's because I was sitting at the river for stocking up on some sunshine! I think it worked!!
you know: vitamin D!!
;-)
If you do the same and it works too we could write some studies about it!!

AC hat gesagt…

No, unfortunately there are no dogs around today. It's dog day because I miss my dog a lot and decided to spent the afternoon looking at cute puppy videos on the net :)
Today is finally sunny here so maybe I'll go out and see if something happens hehe

liebe janet, mir gehts wieder besser ;-) gartenluft und migros-schokoladeneier haben geholfen. tracey emin würde mir sicher auch gefallen..die idee mit den decken gefällt mir. da müsste ich aber mal kinderfrei haben um hinzugehen. liebe grüsse*

ninon hat gesagt…

beautiful serie! I bet you had fun making these!

Schanett hat gesagt…

april: MIGROS schoggieili!!?? wie kommen die von hier zu dir?! ;-)
wie auch immer - hauptsachte, du hast dich heute gut erholt! bezüglich tracy emin: stimmt, die decken sind auch ganz toll, die hatte ich fast vergessen vor lauter monotypien...

ninon: yes! a lot of fun! how do you know??

Janou-Eve hat gesagt…

Lovely and inspiring !!! Love your new picture profile...

parisa mahmoudi hat gesagt…

Using of line is in the best way!The drawings are so great and powerful!!!

Schanett hat gesagt…

janou-eve: do you mean the small selfportrait? merci! I didn't want to put a photo but I think a drawing is okay...

parisa: you're right! lines are so rudely and can be very powerful and beautiful at the same time. I'm a big fan of drawings I would even say it's my favourite technique.

outi hat gesagt…

i understand you totally! meinem Freund always has to have some "purpose" when we go traveling, some project or a task. and i understand this very well:)
i also like to have a "project" when going abroad, even though i can easily spend days just walking and walking;D
Hmm, i have to think..you already graduated, so exchange with a school is no option? or an artist residence? check this for the beginning:

and we will think about this..

Janou-Eve hat gesagt…

yes ! The small self-portrait, I really like it !

Schanett hat gesagt…

outi: thank you very very much! I'll check this page! an artist in residence would be a "geniale idee"!! I already informed me about connections between Switzerland and Helsinki some months ago and didn't find anything but now it seems as if there would be other possibilities... I get excited...!

Ritva hat gesagt…

asphalt and air hat gesagt…

Joyce hat gesagt…
