'Babingly - Sepia Variation' - Screenprint 1984 |
Upon seeing this print of John Piper's, I immediately thought it would be good to recreate using drawing ink. The original look of this piece didn't turn out how I intended so I used a combination of other materials to enhance the drawing and give it more depth. Watercolours were ideal for working back into this as it helped with the tonal qualities and highlight certain areas. I then used acrylics for lighter areas before refining the detail with a fineliner. The light wash of brown watercolour was then added to the drawing to create the same feel as the 'sepia' look intended by Piper in his original print.
The photo below shows the first stages of a drawing created in a similar style as the one above. The same materials have been used although the content is from one of my own photographs.
