Drypoint on copper Jan 2014

I am finding myself enjoying dry point marks much more than normal etching marks on copper, this was a little trial to see how pressure effects the line quality, and I quite liked the outcome, and I could work into it more perhaps adding tone, what do you think?

(Phew! What a mouthful!)

apart from the really hard to remember title of this exhibition it was really good a lot of really interesting and well observed reportage style drawings crammed onto a few walls of space at the Campus of my university. Saw it last week, so early February .

not sure if there is anything else on the web about this show, but worth a Google about the artist Topolski if you have never heard of him before. (like I hadn’t)

I am Working on this very large piece, for my Westonbirt exhibition.

It will be made up of lots of little drawings that I gathered from visitors to westonbirt in a week in April.

Visitors drawings

I asked them to draw their favourite part of the tree or a part they found interesting.

Now I am going to put them all together hopefully to make a whole tree out of the parts they have drawn.

.three sheets of A1, and ink

These are some images of the first stages, I wanted a bit of colour in there  so the background will be inked in the shape of a tree, the pics above are some of the details of the ink, which I have been letting do its own thing up to a point, to create interesting marks and layers !
