Experimenting with papers.

I've been printing all morning. I feel a little better because I was feeling a little behind. I completed 7 prints total and I feel like I just worked out or something. Standing and constantly running around the room. It was a good thing no one was there or I think I could have scared someone.

I experimented with a lot of different kinds of paper. Cooler tones versus warmer tones. The kind of paper you print on can make a huge difference on the mood of a print. With my elephant, I liked printing on cooler gray toned paper. I was using a very neutral blue-green ink tone and the cooler paper really set the mood. The print is supposed to make you sad so a cooler paper is probably a better choice. Warmer toned paper generally seem a little more cheerful and I'm not going for a cheerful print. However, I did print on a warmer paper. I still like it, but I prefer the cooler gray.
