College Work...


This is the zinc plate I worked on today.  We were shown how to prepare the zinc, heat it up and apply the 'ground'.  Then it was a simple matter of lightly sketching into the ground to produce a delicate image which will hopefully print :)  Put on the spot, I came up with a little 'specimen' sketch of a Bottlebrush flower.  Its botanical name is Callistemon.  I had to remember to scratch the word as a mirror image so that it would be able to be read once printed out. 


This is a collage of two unrelated images/paintings, photocopied and cut up to produce a completely different image.


This is a sketch of a small section of a post-modern building... a study in light and shade.  We will be reproducing this image as paintings in gouache and watercolour.
