Theses sketchbook pages were used as a chance to experiment with simple media in preperation for printing. Just one section from a photograph was used as the focus point of the drawings. The biro drawing was a quick way of recreating the look that a dry-point print could create and the light wash of watercolour in the second drawing gave the detailed pen-work a softer, lighter feel to it. The final one, made using acrylic paints, was intended to be quite expressive but the final outcome is maybe too messy for what I hoped to achieve. Perhaps I worked back into it, It would look a little better. Experimenting with these materials was useful for deciding upon which type of media would be used in future work and what simple materials work well.
