Carving Lines

2004 Al Stirt Demonstration
Al uses the Ryobi reciprocating carver to trace geometric lines into the black Gesso. The lines were created using repeated patterns of a "chevron" template made out of mylar. He uses a watercolor pencil, dry, to draw the pattern. Later, he can use a damp paper towl to erase the lines without having color bleed into the carved areas.
