Day 15 and 16:

I have one week left to make prints and with that thought in the back of my head I am working pretty hard. Here’s what I’ve been doing with the last couple of days...

The first beach I got to in India, dotted with lots of these brightly coloured fishing boats. And the fish they caught was very tasty. Arambol, Goa

This unfinished print is the view I had from a houseboat cruising down the beautifully calm, serene backwaters in Alleppy, Kerala. This print is dedicated to my Dad.

Day 4:

I got to visit the University today. I was impressed. There is some amazing talent there. The studios are big and spacious and the teachers and students are lovely. We had a chinwag and some chai. There is a real craft and technique to printmaking and the students had it sussed, including some really interesting concepts behind their artwork. I also went to check out the Baroda Museum and art gallery while I was out, so I came back to the studio inspired and ready to do some printmaking.

I have done a quick print of a bird on the shore in Varkala, Kerala. I think I will also redo this one in slightly different colours.
