Blog Post: August
Since I went on the Liz Hough course at St Ives School of Painting in July, I’ve been trying out ideas using acrylic on board.
Last week I went with some fellow artists from Krowji to a CAMP printmaking kin day, organized by Nicky Harwood of the Creative Gym and Caroline Wilkins which was a lot of fun, topped off by an excellent veggie lunch at the local cafe. Nicky showed us how to do a tabletop litho print using very simple materials and this is something that I’ll definitely incorporate into my workflow and I’ll also try to overprint onto a drawing or painting next time I’m in the studio as I’d like to find a way of combining these that works.
The selection of images above shows some of the little paintings I’ve done, the litho print I made, and Nicky demonstrating the litho technique. I’ve also taken some work in to be framed ready for an exhibition we’re having at the Salthouse Gallery in St. Ives from September 25th for a week.
