Its been a while since my last post but I've not been idle. I began work on a new mezzotint print and it's taken some time to get the image roughed out on the plate. There is still much work to do before I can bring the plate to the 1st proof stage but I now have all the light and dark areas determined.
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.
