Love these large explorations, don’t worry about that paper not being archival!
I was also saddened to hear about Norman Ackroyd back in September- absolutely love his work and find it amazing that he works so painterly in copper plates.
Thank you for the links! Glad to hear you’re embracing the dark and cozy season.
Thx Liz! Totally agree re Ackroyd's work. I was lucky to see his exhibition at the Yorkshire Sculpture park and was blown away how he managed to achieve such ethereal, evocative atmospheres in his prints. Enjoy your weekend!
Thank you Gillian - I like it too! I think the absorbency of the paper contributes to the soft washes. It's trial and error to find an acid free paper that has the same qualities... Have a great weekend, Carolyn
Just acquired some Wallrock for a workshop and itworks quite well. Saves on the good stuff. Thanks for the tip
You're very welcome Fran. As you say, for experimenting on, it works well!

Your painting on the lining paper is beautiful, Carolyn. It looks like the view of the valley just round the corner from me.
