Picked up a nice frame for my cat print in the morning, vintage frames are the way forward if you can get them for the right price. Just paying for assembly and to get a mat cut is a lot less financially stressful. Got an email the night before offering me a place in a Christmas studio sale in Stoke Newington on the 7th of December :) Pretty happy about that, ordered some smaller paper to do some simpler mini prints that I'm thinking will be good for gifts.
Got back to work on the cow from where I left off a month ago.....
New composition idea but desperately in need of a better shape. Looked up some Indian miniature paintings and went back to original photo of cow on Italian bible in Pisa.
New shape with some fold the paper in half and grab some scissors magic.
I wanted some kind of detailed textured background and decided to start drawing tiny ink shapes. Thought I'd be done in half an hour.
Half an hour later
An hour later.
1 & half hours of squiggles....... fail.
Way too busy!
Did some bigger ones as well - pretty ugly too.
Merged the two squiggle layers for a more pleasing result.
Ditched the crazy ass zig zags and tried a three colour layering.
Much better as a two colour print.
Possibly only a one colour. 1.45 in the morning again - crawled off to bed.
