We switched up our medium a bit on this edition. Students were originally supposed to be printing to paper but were surprised (pleasantly so) to find that we were now going to print to foil. It was a smaller printing area so some of the students needed to do some re-designing of their prints. The benefits outweighed the cost and the classes agreed that this was a change that they were willing to make.
Unlike paper, foil allows paint to be moved around freely. This freedom of movement gave the students a wonderful opportunity to really develop brushed on textures into their prints. The example below shows the swirling purple sky background.
