Photoshop processing

My lovely 'Emu' drawing with collage and charcoal.....finally processed in photoshop!






'Too Many Toads' pastel drawing on mulberry paper, then I glued it onto a black canvas...also processed on photoshop.


Penguin print......lino cut process by cutting out what you want to stay white,then I printed the yellow hair,cut away the hair and printed orange feet, flippers etc, then cut away everything I wanted to stay orange,and printed an inky blue /black,cut away everything to keep inky and finally printed a blue/green but the inky made the green a little strong....I managed to print 6 of these and this one was the best....registration is a nightmare!!!

'Moonlight Dancing' this is a lino cut as well but only printed in black.  The print design on the tree branches etc is a chine colle method.  I drew a ground study of leaves and bark etc in pen then photocopied it,mirror imaged it and reduced the size of the drawing...such an effect!

This is a plaster mould of 3 thread reels turned in wood.  Since taking this photo I have tinted the mould with an acrylic wash, glued and screwed to an old piece of wood and an old de-wired window frame and turned it into a wall sculpture!
This is a clay machete of a nude. It has been fired and since taking this photo I have given it an acrylic wash of olive green in the cracks to emphasis the creases of skin.
