Portrait of fellow Paper Jukebox member, Lucy Evans
This task made a lovely change for me, my recent
tendencies being to make images of animals and nature.
This has given me a craving to do a portrait on a
much larger scale so that I can use my roller, as a paintbrush almost. As the
roller is about 10cm wide, I need a bigger area to work on so I can use it for
smaller details. (The challenge here is finding a place with a table big
enough to print on!)
To get the details of Lucy’s features in the print
at this size (A2) I thought pencil would be the best option. I think there’s a
delicacy to the image this way, compared to if I had of used the process of
mono-printing which would have created a darker, heavier line. And it was such
a beautiful, delicate face to draw.
