A collection of miscellany for you today:
ONE: Pastels
This week I was delighted to be a guest in Andrea Chebeleu's Under the Influence art journaling lesson. The focus for her students was on pastels and so I went digging for a few pastel videos that I've done over the years:
My current collection of pastels includes:
They each have such different qualities. It's hard to choose a favorite!
TWO: Watertown Arts Market
I will have a booth at the Watertown Arts Market this Saturday — August 19 — from 12-5pm at Filipello Park in Watertown, MA. If you're in the area, I hope you'll stop by the booth and buy some art. This is a photo from a previous market where I was selling earrings:
For Saturday's market, I have lots of new artwork for your walls that's never been seen online! So stop by and grab a gift for yourself or get your holiday shopping done early!
THREE: Mokulito
I've fallen down an internet rabbit hole. I stumbled across a lithography process known as mokulito — read more about it HERE — and I'm fascinated.
"Mokulito or Lithography on wood, is a form of printmaking based on principles of lithography using wood as a printing matrix instead of limestone. The technique was developed by professor Seishi Ozaku, in Japan in the 1970’s under the name Mokurito. In Japanese, Mokurito translates as Moku meaning wood, while rito is short for lithograph. For some unknown reason in the West, the term Mokulito was adopted."
Here are some photos I found online:
I've watched some YouTube tutorials and I'm tempted to give it a try. Let me know if you've had experience with mokulito. I'd love to hear about it!
FOUR: Two new half-day in-person classes
Both classes are on Saturday, September 16 in my home studio, outside of Boston. They are each 3-hours long and all supplies are included. Nature Monoprints is in the morning and Layered Monotypes is in the afternoon. You can read more and sign up HERE.
Thanks for stopping by!

When I was in art school many many moons ago we carved on 1” x 6” pieces of flat wood. Then we printed the image on rice paper using ink (I don’t remember what kind). I only had a rubber roller brayer to capture the prints and it worked just fine. I have no idea if it was a version of mokulito, but it was a lot of fun.

I think thats wood carving. Mokulito is more like lithography.
