mixed media experiments

Recently I have been absorbed in experimenting with media

here i experimented with an acrylic ground, and applying watercolour and bleach. On the left I painted on plastic, cardboard on the right 

a watercolour painting on the left depicting clouds; on the right I used a water wash and dropped ink onto the water using a pipette, letting the colour seep naturally 

A carborundum print. I glued plastic bags, carborundum powder in fine and rough  and crumpled paper, applied varnish and printed it using a printing press
another carborundum board and print
