Adding some color to my beloved pocket brushes

I used Lamy fountain pen ink — the same kind of black ink I use to refill my black brush pen. I like that it’s a little bit watery and doesn’t bleed as much as the super thick black Pilot ink that comes with the brush pens.

My top 10 techniques for mark making on the gel plate. Some of these are adapted printmaking techniques.

I’ve also given a summary of costs involved for techniques which require equipment.

I hope you enjoy this introduction to printmaking techniques with the gel plate.

Thought-Forms: A Record of Clairvoyant Investigation is a theosophical book compiled by the members of the Theosophical Society A. Besant and C. W. Leadbeater. It was originally published in 1905 in London.[1][note 1] From the standpoint of Theosophy, it tells opinions regarding the visualization of thoughts, experiences, emotions and music. Drawings of the "thought-forms" were performed by John Varley Jr. (grandson of the painter John Varley), Prince, and McFarlane.

The Boston-based painter’s large, color-rich paintings begin with what he hears, not with what he sees. He says, “Sight and sound run parallel in our perception, and these works do not intend to confound the two. Rather, the interest is for the viewer to switch back and forth across subjectivity, allowing sound its visual memory. As a word becomes a sound’s visual placeholder, so these paintings become their portrait.”

Norfolk began painting as a teenager and earned a BFA from the College of William and Mary, and received his MFA from Boston University.
