I promised to keep posting work in progress, so here are my upturned boats in progress. I am actually planning out at least some of the print on the computer before I try and make the stencils by hand.
It's a question of what can be positive and what can be negative. Pencil marks and brush strokes cannot be negative (obviously) but paper cuts can be, I guess. Maybe I've made this too hard for myself!
I have no idea how to make multiple layers accurate. I mean, obviously if you cut a boat out of paper then do do have a perfect positive and negative shape.
Anyway there it is! Do let me know what you think.
We are off on holiday soon to Cornwall (yay!) but this time we are staying near Bodmin so we will be able to access all the ports on the north coast which we haven't been to for years.
I have got a new lens (28mm) and will be taking photographs for potential prints. All very exciting.
You can expect more prints like this one, The Rooftops of St. Ives, although I will also be playing around with natural media screenprints and also some abstract prints. So we'll see what comes out.
The beautiful coastal scenery of the Azores is captured in this rugged golden coast sunrise photograph. Destination of magnificence nature. Print here: https://buff.ly/485nvOe
