As Promised

As Promised, here is the print from the litho stone I wrote about in the last post.  I also added a layer of fondino colour for the glasses.

A bit of a break to make something different

After a bit of time away from working... and especially after such intense work on my mezzotint plate I was back at it this week with a few smaller side projects and a lithography workshop at school.  I thought it was a perfect opportunity to just do something totally different and work in a much less controlled way. With a fully prepped stone just begging to be tainted with ink and pastel I came up with this....  a great memory from a great night on our summer vacation in Ireland,

I have since printed the stone with some additional work that I'll post in the near future.  In the mean time enjoy the fruits of my labour this past monday morning!
