How to: Shellac on Charcoal Ghost Prints

Adding shellac to charcoal ghost (the powder image created accidentally on the cover paper by the actual charcoal portrait). Using old drawings from my first life drawing class 4-5? years ago. Decided to give them a new life.... the cover sheets that accidentally printed in storage IMO are more intriguing than the real drawings.

Shellac and denatured alcohol purchased from Home Depot.

Before adding shellac I mix it with denatured alcohol to thin to desired consistency. Make sure to use gloves and a drop cloth! 😄

I am a process artist, printmaker, and art teacher. My art is not only my means of expression, but also an adventure—the creation process as rewarding as the end result.
