Mixed success

I finished the plate, a combination of silk aquatint, tile cement and various adhesive tapes....

printed it in blue....

 then tried inking a la poupee with viscosity printing. 

The technique needs working on but I think I am starting to get some indication of light and shade across the image.  

Ticking over

We’ve just come back from holiday so not much work has happened recently. Though I have signed and delivered my contribution to 20:20

 and have started a plate which I hope will develop using silk aquatint as part of a collagraph.

 And now its time to go and build a sleigh for Cinderella! Yes, its panto time again.

Adding Silk Aquatint

I wanted a way to add softer edges into the print so I decided to try silk aquatint in the view through the window rather than cutting the objects

and still exploring viscosity inking
