Just one of those weeks with constant interruptions. It’s just the time of the year I think. For me, printmaking really needs some thought and is quite a slow process. It’s not yet as easy as just picking up a pencil or a brush. So progress on the dragon print based on the sketch of my lost ceramic piece is slow.
I made endless roughs and sketches and could not come to a conclusion. I know what I would like to achieve ( but I think that’s probably a bit of a mistake with printmaking) but am quite a way from that yet. So in the end I just got started with some experiments and I hope something will emerge.
I have some basic cut out shapes using the easicut stuff so I can experiment with placing them at random and sort of “assemble” the image.
Basic design and first cuts
Trials and tribulations…..
.. but I like this bit!
I always tell my students that if one square centimetre of a piece of work is Ok then it’s a success.
