To celebrate my parents both turning 50 this year, I made a series of sketches, paintings and prints of the family to gift to them.
a mono print of my brother and sister. I used oil-based ink on copper and used cotton buds, pencils and kitchen roll to create texture and shape
A4 paper
a mono print of my father doing a squat A4 paper
for this print I used a mixture of hard ground etching and an acrylic medium for aqua-tinting
the pink is the acrylic medium - you can cover areas you do not wish to be 'bitten' by acid, therefore controlling the intensity of the black when inked
'My dad' each on A4 paper
'Me' charcoal and oil paint on A4 paper
'My mother' oil pastel and oil paint on A4 paper
'Phoebe' charcoal and oil paint sketch on A4 paper
another of my dad. Oil paint on A4 paper
