Beautiful print to kickstart the new year! I watched the first part twice as it opens many possibilities for some figurative elements

[@CorneliaFriedrich-Rau]

Thank you for your work and your words. Inspiring as every time. Wish you a happy new year.

[@GuniHardt]

The first pull looks like the new years firework. Mega!

[@schwarzekatz602]

[@ElleCoyote]

Thank you, this was a feast for they eye.

[@sheilamarkham1937]

Great beginning to 2025! It is wonderful how three layers can produce such complexity. Thank you for showing your unconventional choice of tools! Fearless indeed!

[@michelenishikatsu4273]

So marvelous, Fulton! Happy New Year, dear one…and yes, “optimism”!🎨

Dear Mr. Art. Thank you for your positivity and your wishes for the New Year!

[@VinicioAyala-oy1ty]

It is such a beautiful piece. You as well have a wonderful new year.

[@robinregan9024]

Very beautiful! I just got my first bello plate and can't wait to try it 😊

[@robinregan9024]

Gelli plate

[@lucieschulte4611]

Thank you for your kind words and for the wonderful print. Happy new year! ❤

I was not a fan of the towel idea, but the resulting texture changed my mind. A cross between dry brush strokes and etching scratches. Good textural construct with the brayer texture. Loved these colors too.

[@artwhisperer88]

Fun fact, wiping down the plate with cloth is a time honored practice, as in doing etching with copper plates

Thank you for your wishes, thank you so much for your Videos. The best to you from Vienna/ austria

That silver lets the eye rest - perfect, as you say, against the turbulence. 🎉

With the first pull I thought it looked like an abstract view in a pond with koi fish swimming around and after the second pull, it looked the same with ice forming on top of the water. Very nice and Happy New Year.

Gorgeous one. That first pull full of marks suggesting figures. Using the brush does make a different quality. And yes a great positive New Year of creating for you and all the subscribers here. ❤

[@kokoslores9666]

That's what I just thought too! I see native Americans in the pull. It's great! Happy new year!

[@klaasdoornbos4387]

Gelukkig Nieuwjaar, happy New year

[@kokoslores9666]

Am I the only one who sees some wild figures in the first pull? It is such a great pull, it makes my imagination dance. 🤗💃 Let's dance into the new (art) year 2025. May it be a happy one for all of us! 🫶🍀🌟

Very cool print! I was wondering how you line up your paper perfectly?

[@artwhisperer88]

here's one way to do it kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZLdeaBjedeDj80

@ thank you!

[@kaboart]

Hi Art, you mentioned Richeson paper, but what type? Is it newsprint, watercolor, printmaking or drawing paper? I am assuming printmaking but just wondering if I am correct.
