These are a couple of pages from my book for the forthcoming exhibition. I am rediscovering the challenge and fun of creating images inspired by what I see.
A long time ago I did a lot of painting, finally mostly in watercolours, I have dug out my old watercolours and started playing around. Then I discovered the Derivan Artist Quality inks - these are wonderful as they dry with a semi gloss finish and can be worked over without disturbing the image.
There are also collage pieces happening and a more graphic approach. I did not want to try an be an illustrator, more I was fascinated with shape and texture. Hope you like these pages.
Quite a few more pages to complete then my concertina can be assembled. You can see them at the exhibition where I am in very good company with 14 other book artists.
We are so excited about The Paginated Garden exhibition that Rosemarie and other Book and Sketch Artists are going to create at and about the Royal Botanic Garden.
ReplyDeleteHi Rosemarie. I adore the strong voice of green here and the sense of rhythm. I took a class with you on how to make the oriental binding book.
