Nothing much to see this week, it’s all preliminary work for
the ‘Reflections’ book.
I’m trying to learn from the course I went on in October so
rather than making one or two tight preliminary drawings with a fixed idea of
where I’m going I’m trying out making a larger series of looser quick sketches on scrap
paper based on the photos I took on our trip to the woods. In theory I’ll then
explore the more promising ones with monoprint. This is the first half.
One of the things I need to work on is colour. In my work,
if it’s not monochrome, it tends to be a bit hit and miss and often ends up
rather garish. As a step in the right direction, hopefully, I’ve started by making
colour samples with mixes of the printing inks I’m currently using.
I should finish the drawings this weekend. I'm looking forward to taking some of them into colour.
