1.Collage and image blocked in with thin paint

2. Blocking in more colours

Wanted larger areas of colour and less detail, also enriched the colour values.

Mosaic

Have had a few setbacks. Because my calculations were out (despite the computer - must have been my measurements) we ran out of tiles. So am still waiting for them to arrive.

We have completed 3 of the six panels and for the last couple of days we were grouting and polishing. The excitement got the best of people and I had a phone call yesterday to tell me they had installed one of the panels! I was a bit taken aback because I was not ready for it to go, but its up and I am excited to see the rest of them.

Workshop

 Had a lovely time with the ladies at Ryde Art Society. We had two days of photopolymer printmaking (solarplate). Here are some photos of the weekend.
