Back Lane - WIP 2015 - CollageI have been taking a print workshop with Agustin Rojas.  Now I remember loving to work in the print shop at school – hours.  It has been so long that I have forgotten a lot.  I am pleased to remember at all. The Collage above shows how much work I did in 4 days.

1) drawing – idea

2) 1st proof of drypoint

3) 2nd proof – more drypoint

4) 3rd proof – 1st aquatint

Now I have reworked the plate with more dry-point and burnishing. I have a proof of that as well so I can rework it again & now for the 5th proof I hope to be nearer the end. Here is the full image a few work days ago – may post the final images.Back Lane - Aquatint WIP 2015 (640x400)sgnd

I have been a working artist for about 30 years.  I have a lot of art hidden in binders and portfolios and under sheets [my paintings – to keep them dust free].  Today I did a bit of photo work to capture some of the remaining older pieces and thought I’d share them.

These are published drawing – magazine and newspaper assignments.

I am cataloging my earlier work – I am still editing some out – not everything needs to be kept.
