 Reproductions are available in multiple sizes as High Quality Archival Prints. | Hidy ho guys. So if you've been following updates on my 'On the Easel..' page, you'll already be familiar with this little piece, done as a preliminary study for the larger oil I'm currently working on. Painted on texturally primed canvas, this piece gave me the opportunity to work out design elements I was thinking of adding (the contour crosshatched lines on the figure etc.) as well as solidify the palette I would be using for the larger painting. Available reproduced as Archival Giclee Fine Art Prints for any artlovers who may be interested, in my Etsy store at Infox Archival Giclee!!  |

'Binary Movement' Charcoal and Colour Pencil Drawing WIP' See ya! Thanks for the visit!.. :) Hi guys! So with a touch of trepidation I got back to this piece and I'm pretty happy it's turned out just as envisioned!.. The nature of this piece I feel lends itself to personal interpretation so I shy away from clarifying my own inspiration as I would like each observer to find meaning in it for themselves, independent of my own conceptual vision.  'Duality of Mind' / Colour pencils, Soft Pastels, White Chalk Pencil & Charcoal Pencil on Canson Mi-Teintes Paper (160g/m) Size: 19.1 x 12.4 Inches (each panel without borders)  Check out more detailed shots and info at 'Duality of Mind' or if you are interested in seeing a how this piece was created step by step, check out 'Duality of Mind' Pastel and Colour Pencil WIP'!!
Thanks for dropping by guys! :) Hiya folks!,.. It's been a while hasn't it!. I'm coming out of a difficult year after caring for my dad through his last few months and long slow deterioration. There are no words to describe how it feels to see a loved one go thus... We miss him everyday now even though he had long been a shadow of himself. Anyways, art has always pulled me through difficult times and I was working on this little print during his final days. I did one set with goldleaf for some artist friends (12 editions) and this set (below in only 8 editions) with silverleaf. I hadn't done any printmaking since my college days so I kept it simple.  'Zen Dog' Variable Limited Edition Linocut Print Gilded with Silver Metal Leaf (Only 8 editions) on Japanese Rice Paper / Size: 3.5 x 3.65 Inches  This is the first time I've tried gilding a handpulled print and it's a bit tricky to do so, as each piece is supposed to be as identical as possible ( this is a mark of a good printmaker). To get the gilding pattern of each print as close as possible I used a stencil to apply the gilding paste and then continued with the gilding process as usual.
I wanted the silverleaf to be protected though, so a layer of Artist Varnish was applied just to the leaf alone. These prints have only just been made available on Artfinder so if you're interested in adding one to your collection pop on by - 'Zen Dog' Silverleaf V/E Print . Do drop me a message if you have any questions! Thanks for dropping by!!
Had to say adieu to this one today. I was surprisingly sadder than usual to see a piece go. I was quite pleased at successfully achieving just the exact glowing emerald hue I had envisioned for the snake and this was also my first attempt at trying a new crosshatching technique with the oil paint too.. Despite this I could not feel more blessed with whom she is on her way to right now!.. Thank you so much for making a home for two!.. :) More info on how this piece was created etc. at 'Original Sin Rebirth'  'Original Sin Rebirth' / Medium: Oil and Silver Metal Leaf on Primed Canvasboard / Size: 5.1 x 7.4 Inches SOLD
I've been testing out different colour palettes for my figurative work lately 'Twilight' being the latest. I quite like the prussian blue based hues in this one, especially how well it plays off the complementary raw umber in the background.  'Twilight' / Oil and Silver Metal Leaf on Canvasboard / Size: 3.1" x 3.4"  Check out the WIP for this piece at: Testing DIY Silverleaf Sealant, Size & Colour Palettes.
Thanks for dropping by!.. :)
Haven't done a long pose practice session in a long time so it was really fantastic knuckling down to bring this pose through all the nuances that are generally left behind when doing one of my short gesture drawings... Attention was given to sensitive soft edges (with carefully chosen defined accents ). Without fiddling with the details of the hand in the foreground, the eye is free to be led up and down the figure.. the perspective enhanced by the barely rendered feet in the distance...  ‘ Avery #01 ’ / Cretacolor Nero Soft & Chinese White Pencil on Light Gray Archival (acid & Lignen Free) Paper / Size: 12 x 12 Inches SOLD
Ok folks, thanks so much for the visit!.. :D Another favourite of mine I have been holding on to, but the time has come!.. This piece highlights our social and 'anti' economic system which profits and inevitably encourages detrimental effects to our environment and health.  Oil on Canvasboard / Size: Miniature Triptych consisting of three 3.1 inch x 3.6 inch panels  Thanks for dropping by!.. :)
