layer five - grey

I've printed with two different versions of mid blue, so will be producing two different versions of this print. Here is a detail of version one of the print, using the lighter mid blue (which produces a lighter, more yellow 'grassier' green).

Still the black layer to print, then time to sign and edition.

Dancers - initial sketchbook drawings

I'm working on a new print idea involving people dancing together. This is a page from my sketchbook of some initial watercolour and acrylic drawings.
