Possibilities

In my sketchbook, I have began to work out compositions for 2 new pieces of work that I am intersted in taking forward into either prints or into painting. This is because at the moment I am finding painting in oils on board quite an interesting process to be working with. This composition is of a part tiger/part women creation. I am planning to have the front half of the body (head-front legs) of the tiger and the rest of the body of a women. I have decided to do it ike this because the image will show the body stuck, as if morphing, in between forms in an orquad postiion. There will be traces of the tigers fur going over the skin of the human part so that the body looks more like a whole than having a distinct line between the end of the tiger and the beginning of the women.



This is the second compositional ide that I have come up with, and after completing both compositional drawings, I am more sure now that the Tiger/Women will be a painting and this new one a dry-point print as the quick, expressional lines in this Fish/Man drawing, would become quite expressive and striking in a print, more so than the Tiger/Women as I see this being better expressed with paint. So as well as the Deer/women print, I am going to be priniting this Fish/man as well and then perhaps consider another area to experiment further in, in either print or painting.
