I love my art work because it has a lot of colors and textures.The reverse the lines if you can see it.The contrast is lines and a little of scrigly lines.My contrast is lines all over the place like connecting lines.The bench hook I used is the v shape.The contrast I used the smooth texture.

My favorite part about this art work is making the texture. I was surprise how shiny it came out! I would not change anything. I learned about making a form.

when I wrote fail I wrote it back words. A bench hook help me protect my hands. A brayer helps me paint. The print plate is where you design your print.
