Viola One

Description

I don't know why I titled it "Viola One", because I don't intend there to be a "Viola Two"...hmm...

It's my viola :heart: as an aluminum plate lithograph. The music below it -- not that anyone cares -- is the first page from the viola part to Dvorak's "New World" Symphony that I'm playing this Saturday. This stupid thing took about three weeks...because I could only work on it on Thursdays and part of my Fridays. Probably about 12 hours' worth of work.

This is the actual drawing, not the print. I'm printing it tomorrow...this is to have a record of how it really looked, before I print it and the printing process decides what to make out of my drawing :headache:. It's my first Al Plate Litho, so I'm kinda paranoid.

+Korn litho crayons #5,#4,#2+
+Digital camera, once again+

EDIT 1/12

I haven't been really active on dA in forEVER, but just a random comment... this picture is going to be on the cover for the April publication of the Journal of the American Viola Society :-)

I play the viola, I love it so much. I allways put my emotions into it because I go through a lot, but I love playing the viola, it helps calm me down sometimes and it just sounds great. I love playing the viola so much, there is only like two other violaist in my orchistra class(im in high school), but I am the best out of them, doesn't matter but it's awesome to see people play the viola like I do.
