Lino Cuts, Paint Washes and.... Naked Man


Had a really good day today. Finished cutting my lino and then printed it (quite a few times; got a bit carried away!)


I printed in on white paper, on coloured paper, on green handmade paper and on material...

I am so chuffed it worked - I didn't expect it to. The only thing is the letters are a bit too dark (and back to front!)

Next was my acrylic scratched print (I'm sure there's a better title for it). I'm using one of my photos of Minnie and I decided to surround her with roses. We'll see how that looks next week.




Next I did a wash on my abstract painting and sanded it with Chris (a bit distressing, distressing a painting I found). It didn't make much difference, perhaps because I'd already varnished it. 

And finally, I drew Dave, the Naked Man. It's ok. But I still can't bloody shade!
