Working Big

observational drawings from cafe Nero
   I wanted to get out of my sketchbook, and work more loosely like we have in previous workshops, and doing this really gave me motivation and ideas to work with. I want to use these paintings to create more refined prints, as they would go well in a series of 3.  The coffee cup image works the best because it is the simplest and the loose drips in black ink contrast well against the bright yellow. If I use colour in my prints I want it to be a bright contrasting colour against black. Translating the looseness of these ink paintings to lino print or collagraph will be difficult though.
A2 studies inspired by observational drawing, experimenting with ink, emulsion and acrylic paint.
