Just before half term, I really got stuck into my own work and after preparing all my 23 backgrounds, I have been paintings my 'motifs'. It is a time consuming and steady work involving a lot of paint mixing, layers of vanish in between most colour changes. But the results are quite stunning and the light is really bringing all the layers together, six done, many more to go.
I am first stenciling the motif and proceed by working details in with paint and inks as per details below:
I now don't want to reveal too much about the work, I need to keep an element of surprise for my end of year exhibition. It has been set for the last week in June, and it feels there is a lot more to do until then! But it is all very exiting!
