DIZZY!

Dizzy Gillespie is in the top two when it comes to jazz trumpeters, so after a few seconds of consideration I made this piece - white on black - one of the techniques that work most splendidly in digital drawing. Analog white colours are almost always a bit transparent, and never really get completely white. I have made quite a few works in lithography where i painted with gum arabic and then rolled the colour on the stone. That way you get a perfect white the places you painted - just like in digital painting. You can even make little adjustments afterwards by polishing or painting on the dry stone, but as I haven't got a Bavarian limes stone and a press in my apartment it is easier to simply make this magic trick on the screen.

Today's words is: "Dizzy."
