The next stages of the new print, starting now to work on the tones on the rocks and finishing off the foreground grasses. Colours 7, 8, 9 & 10.
Colour 7
Colour 8
Colour 9
Colour 10
The tonal shift between colours 9&10 is quite subtle, with hindsight it might be too subtle. But I've already cut the block so its too late now. Another 2 stages should see the print finished.
My work is representational and naturalistic. I go for a walk with a sketchbook and make drawings of anything that interests me. Then back home in the studio I use the sketches to try and make the best print that I possiby can.
"The artist is also a born adventurer. His explorations, unlike those of the tourist, are rewarded by the discovery of beauty spots unmentioned in the guide books, and with tireless curiosity and an exceptional proneness to wonderment, he will come upon objects of remarkable interest overlooked or even shunned by more disciplined observers."Augustus John, R.A.
