Work in Progress

Layering

Whilst these are far from finished, I had to destroy the images in order for me to be able to rebuild them into something better, something visually more exciting.  The surface needed to be lost and so too the figure and I'm still thinking so much about how much needs to be painted and how much needs to be left out.  The colour seems to be so challenging too, I keep experimenting with different structured colouration, mostly focusing on using two dominant complementaries with some other accent colour included.


I've also been really excited over the last two weeks to get back into the print room.  I've made a new drypoint with Chine colle, (although I do need to think about the use of the photocopy for archival puposes) as well as finally etching the Zinc plate that Chris gave me. I loved the way that it etched and can't wait to put an aquatint on it as well.  I's really like to get some more plates underway, maybe so 12inch squares?
