Recently completed large painting.
This is part of a series of paintings to do with childhood memories and feelings.
It is painted in oils on unstretched canvas that has been treated with a surface of wax and fabric collage.
Still working on the theme of memory and childhood, I have enjoyed working with acrylic painting. Using slow drying medium to create layers and textures.
I have been given the long loan of a printing press and I am really enjoying exploring different possibilities with using it as part of my practice.
Exploring the theme of memories by printing on different surfaces and developing some of the themes in my current work.
Using various techniques here including Lino printing and drypoint etching.
The drypoint etching is particularly pleasing to do as here I have used a pvc sheet to trace a drawing using a stylus straight onto the plate. You then use the traditional techniques of applying ink and printing onto slightly dampened paper.
