Artwork description:
'Summerhouse Plantation in Winter' drypoint etching with chine collé and hand applied watercolour.
In this print I’m trying to recreate the experience of a cool, crisp and bright December day. The Summerhouse Plantation is a small wooded are in Ashton Court Estate. It has sheltered trails through it, made by walkers and other visitors. Here I am at the edge, in shadow, looking out at a bright sky, pale blue with fluffy white clouds. I used a sheer chine collé tissue with a gentle sheen to it, to capture the feeling of the sky. I used deep, dark marks scraped into the plate to try to emphasise the shadow and the feeling of looking out and up at the sky.
*Please note: watercolour will be slightly different as hand applied.
Materials used:
Hahnemühle paper 300gsm, Gampi paper 12gsm, Charbonnel ink
