Spanish Workshop
Back in the blustery, dull grey light in the UK after a fun week with everyone in Spain. These Muscatel Grapes seen in the sunny light in Spain where vibrant and translucent and I am struggling to keep the momentum going now I’m back in grey UK. Anyway I’ll share my progress to date with some photos from the trip.
These are three times life size and part of my “larger than Life’ series.
I’m laying down thin layers of colour and then gently dissolving with a minute amount of baby oil, too much and the colour comes off and smears, too little and the binder doesn’t dissolve. this is all done with a pad of cotton wool, so high risk stuff as edges are extremely difficult to manipulate.
On the stalks I have embossed for the spots and then layered dry coloured pencil over the top.
Loads more layering and wiping!
More layering with baby oil and I can see the end in sight.
