This is a photo I took a couple of months back, locally, of a sudden and rather unseasonal snowfall. I love the blue cast to the hills.

30_365 : playing with film
I took a few rolls of film recently at a friend’s farm – this is one shot that I really like. It has some very clear colours and strong contrasts that appeal to me.
It’s another one I’ll be tempted to take into paint.Share this:

29_365 : upload problems last night
So trying again this morning. Very frustrating…More monoprinting – love it 🙂
This time I used a leaf in the mix, then hand coloured with water soluble crayons. But the water to dissolved the crayon made the ink run a bit. Ah well, all a good learning experience!!

28_365 – make mine a monoprint thanks
Monoprinting is such fun. All you need is some paper, ink, roller, a piece of glass and a tool of some sort – a pen, brush handle, finger, whatever!Roll out the paint, draw the design into it, spray the paper till it’s damp then lay on top of the glass. Burnish with your hand or the back of a spoon and then carefully peel off.
This particular image is almost identical to one I have done before – I’m not totally sure why, but there is something about it that satisfies me visually.

27_365 : rolling along
I have been painting with rollers off and on for a while now. This is a revamp of a roller painting I did a while back. I decided the colour contrast needed more ‘oomph’!! I think I like it better now…Share this:
