This has been a very busy week. I have been working on the printing process I have discussed earlier using the gum arabic transfer method. But the method is difficult to achieve I have had variable results. The detailed pictures I had hoped for have not worked. I have emailed a teacher who taught me the method to see where I am going wrong then I will try again next week. The results have not been a waste of time because I like the atmospheric texture of the pieces and have been collaging and stitching into them. The above picture is a collaged experiment. I like the idea of creating micro and macro landscapes. Here I have shown a landscape with a textural piece below it. I've added stitch to various sections.
This is a compilation of various images I collaged together. I then tried the printing method which did not work clearly so used the painted over images to stitch into when dry to add texture. You can't see the stitch on these pictures. The colour way was very dark blues so I scanned them in and altered the brightness and colour adjustments which gave more definition to the birds and other detail. I need to experiment more. The landscape theme is proving to be very interesting. I feel there is plenty of scope for me to take it further.
