First of all, thank you @elisa talentino, for your most inspiring course. It's so fantastic to discover these new techniques. I will certainly use these new ways of drawing and printing in my future drawings. Since I work with chromebook, there is no software available like photoshop or procreate. This means my work stays analogue, I have to work as neat and tidy as I can ;-)
First I had to overcome all kind of things that were not working, like:
- gouache paint blurred all over my gel pad and no way to clean it :I only could
remove it with turpentine ...
- ink that will not stay on my transparent sheet: wrong kind of sheet ...
- still not found the right acrylic, I feel like it still not opaque enough some times ...
So, still a lot to practise with all kind of other materials, but a great way of making a drawing!
I went on with my island, changed some things here and there. I used a slightly coloured paper, and tried out various color palettes. I used ink, acryl, color pensils, crayons.
And tried to incorporate al things in the previous lessons: cut out a form and fill it with a different drawing, ink, acryl, gel print, acetate drawings, the various brushstrokes with ink and acryl, etc.
I tried really hard not to overdo, but I always seem to get lost in details. But in this leporello is so much to tell ....

Very nice project! Working with color palette is perfect!
This project is beautiful!
@francesca_sponchia thank you! 😊
Congratulations for this well-finished work, it seems to me that both the single images made with the different techniques of the course work very well (each page could be an illustration in itself), and the book as a whole, has a nice rhythm :)
Very beautifull!
@creativa_tiz Thank you!
